Abstract | For newcomers learning the language of the host country helps them in their process of integration. This is the case of immigrant women in Quebec, although many challenges await them. Still, they are active and motivated about language learning. This article presents a study of the linguistic trajectory of nine immigrant women enrolled in a French language program in Quebec. Using the approach of the language biography, semi-structured interviews and a learning diary kept for four months, we interviewed nine immigrant women enrolled and enrolled in full-time French courses about their contact time with the French language the spoken languages in the classroom in Quebec and at home, their networks of friends and social activities. Overall, these women are proactive and adjust depending on where they are, the Other and current issues. |
