Abstract

The study that I discuss today differs in two respects from my previous studies. One, it is a longitudinal study, and two, it involves different first languages. Ideally, it might have been better to change only one of the factors, but these are the subjects who were available to me for a longitudinal study. As a result, this paper has more to say about the influence of the first language type on second language acquisition than on patterns of development over time, because, as we shall see, the performance didn't change very much over time.

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
