Keywords:

Cet article aborde l’expérience scolaire et les logiques d’orientation des jeunes issus de l’immigration qui ont dû fréquenter l’école québécoise francophone et qui ont poursuivi des études postsecondaires à Montréal en anglais. Inspirée d’une sociologie de l’acteur scolaire, l’analyse de récits de vie révèle que le rapport développé par ces jeunes face à l’école francophone et la culture d’orientation véhiculée par leurs pairs et leurs parents ont un impact sur leur choix d’étudier en anglais au postsecondaire. L’analyse des discours permet de constater des frontières intergroupes au secondaire entre les « jeunes issus de l’immigration » et les « francophones québécois ». En conclusion, une réflexion sur le curriculum formel et informel est proposée afin d’améliorer le vivre ensemble.
CHILDREN OF BILL 101 AND SCHOOL LINGUISTIC PATHWAYS : THE VOICE OF YOUTHS FROM IMMIGRANT BACKGROUNDS IN MONTREAL
This article addresses the school experiences and vocational choices of youth from immigrant backgrounds who pursued English postsecondary studies in Montreal after completing their secondary education in French. Using a sociological approach emphasizing agency, life story analysis revealed that the relation youth developed to French school and the vocational culture spread by their peers and parents played a role in their choice to study in English at the postsecondary level. The analysis underlines intergroup boundaries at high school between “youths from immigrant background” and “French Québécois”. In conclusion, some suggestions on formal and informal curriculum are made to better the “living together” in schools.
