JOHN BILES
I am a research consultant with an educational background
in history, political science, English literature, and Canadian studies. My prime academic
focus is an interdisciplinary approach to multiculturalism and cultural pluralism.
Blending my academic interests and my life experience, I presently work for the
Multiculturalism Program of the Department of Canadian Heritage and the Metropolis
Secretariat housed at the Department of Citizenship and Immigration.
I view my participation in this network as an excellent means to
build on some pre-existing policy-research links already developed in this field and to
help bridge the gap between the policy and the research communities. In addition,
citizenship education has a direct bearing on my current research on participation in the
formal political processes of the Ottawa-Carleton region.

WANDA CASSIDY
Wanda Cassidy is an education professor at Simon Fraser
University and Co-Director of an interdisplinary endowed centre at SFU called the Centre
for Education, Law and Society. Her speciality is curriculum development and assessment,
social studies education, law-related/citizenship education in schools, and program
development for at risk/high need youth. She recently (1997) completed a major study on
social studies education in B.C. which showed an alarming decline in elementary and
secondary students' understanding of government, history, and law as well a decline in
critical citizenship attitudes and skills. An area of current research is the cultivation
of "private" citizenship attributes (e.g. caring and compassion) through the
formal and informal curricula. Her most recent publication is a book for teachers
entitled: "Let's Talk about Law in the Elementary School" (1998, Detselig
Enterprises Ltd.).

TRACEY DERWING (PHD,
LINGUISTICS)
My primary research focuses on native speaker - nonnative
speaker interaction. At the discourse level, I conduct observational and experimental
studies to identify the effects of modifications that native speakers make when addressing
low proficiency speakers of English. This work has implications for the classroom and the
workplace, in that some modifications appear to enhance nonnative speaker comprehension,
while other adjustments have a negative effect, resulting in a breakdown of communication.
I also work in collaboration with Dr. Murray Munro of Simon Fraser University--we conduct
research in the area of nonnative speaker pronunciation, particularly the extent to which
accent interferes with a second language learner's comprehensibility. The goal of this
work is to separate out the components of an accent which cause comprehension difficulties
from those which happen to be salient but non-troublesome. Most pronunciation teaching is
done on the basis of salience alone; we wish to establish principled guidelines for
instruction based on factors affecting intelligibility. I also conduct research in adult
second language literacy and citizenship education for adult immigrants. The work in the
latter area is limited to an examination of the content offered in citizenship and ESL
programs across the country.
