Description

Introduction Based on an analysis of policy documents, archives, and narratives from interviews, this article presents a critical policy study that seeks to explicate contextually the key features of the process that led to the adoption of a set of directions introducing English as a second language (ESL) as a compulsory subject in grades 1 and 2 (primary Cycle 1) in francophone primary schools across the Province of Quebec in 2006 (Ministere de l'education, du loisir et du sport, 2006). This new policy direction needed to be analyzed in the context of the emerging conflict between the use of French-language policy in Quebec as an instrument of nation-building and the rise of a globalizing world requiring the mastery of English as an international language, recognizing that nation-building does not does not necessarily mean independent state-building (Keating, 1997). This policy study focuses on exploring the extent to which the tensions between the Quebec process of nation-building on one hand and globalization on the other hand framed and influenced the narratives and "the processes by which agenda items and alternatives [came] into prominence" (Kingdon, 1995, p.15) during the phases of policy development.
