Martine Rhéaume

Martine Rhéaume has been a teacher and department head of French-as-a-second-language, Spanish, German, and Latin at Glebe Collegiate, Colonel By Secondary School, Hillcrest High School and Gloucester High School. In order to participate in a genuine language learning experience, students from these schools have participated in linguistic and cultural exchanges to France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Luxemburg, and Japan.

Her research interests focus on teaching and learning language in blended models (in person/online) and on the pedagogy of distance learning of languages. She is particularly interested in the mindset of linguistic risk-takers during online linguistic and cultural exchanges with Francophone speakers from African countries such as Egypt, Ivory Coast and Benin.

Martine Rhéaume hopes that her research will foster more international online exchanges that aim to teach languages in real-life contexts, develop cultural appreciation, and encourage linguistic risk-taking in foreign languages in order to enhance the personal and professional development of language learners.
