Hey G! An Examination of how English Language Learning Visible Minority High School Youths Experience the intersection of race and Second Language Learning (Carène Pierre René)

 This study seeks to explore how English language learning (ELL) visible minority youth from immigrant families living in Ottawa, experience the intersections of ‘race’ and second language learning in after school youth programs. Despite the fact that race is a socially constructed notion which has subsequently become discredited as having no biological basis, the concept continues to impact youths’ linguistic identities. Within the Canadian context, few programs have been established to support ELL visible minority students to address race issues. As a result, there is a need for a bridge between the academic situation and the after school one.
