Description
Summary:The school now plays a central role in the process of revitalizing Breton, a language in a minority situation. As such, teaching in Breton must take particular account of the sociolinguistic and ideological context in which it takes place. This teaching, which has been constantly increasing for 40 years, has certain assets for its development, but the ratios of minorization / increase between Breton and French can hinder expression in Breton or its learning among students in bilingual Breton-French courses. In this article, we present, at first, the main challenges faced by those involved in bilingual education that we believe can be overcome by investing in academic research. In the second part, we present an example of action research: we show how research in language didactics can propose concrete avenues of work to the actors of teaching in Breton to promote the sociolinguistic appropriation of Breton among students.
