Professor B (Sam) is a language professor. He has been teaching languages for many years to
undergraduate students majoring in French. I knew him when I was doing my undergraduate study, and I was happy that he agreed to be part of my research knowing his immeasurable skills in the FSL field. Professor B is an instructor at the department of French/Francophone literature and culture at a university. He teaches courses on North African literature and culture and introductory courses on foreign literature and culture. He has broad experience in teaching languages and linguistics using new pedagogy, and he believes strongly in communicative language. Professor C (Jim) is a language professor. He has been teaching in this field for many years. He teaches courses on the French Enlightenment and modern French culture. He also contributed a dozen entries on French, British, and American women scholars and philosophers. I had met Professor C through French faculty members when I was looking to select my participants for this research. Professor C showed great enthusiasm and eagerness to share his knowledge by answering the questions in this study. 25 Process of Recruitment I emailed participants to ask for their participation in my research and I noted their significant practice in teaching FSL. Moreover, I was pleased to have three faculty instructors as my potential research participants. All three professors received emails containing an outline of the study, the letter of consent and the research questions, thus giving them an overview of what would occur during the interviews. They were also asked to arrange a time and place for the interview that best suited their schedules. According to the Tri-Council Policy Statement: “Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans, researchers shall provide to prospective participants, or authorized third parties, full disclosure of all information necessary for making an informed decision to participate in a research project” (TCPS 2 2018, article 3.2), Moreover, at the commencement of any process of consent, researchers (or their qualified representatives) shall provide prospective participants with the information set out in the following list, as appropriate to the research project. Not all the listed elements are required for all research. However, additional information may be required in particular types of research or under particular circumstances (ibid, p.30) This study involved no physical risks, although there was a low psychological/emotional risk in that participants may feel uncomfortable with the interview. There was also a low social risk since the privacy and reputation of the participants was valued. There were no economic risks or risks associated with disclosure of data. Download 0.77 Mb.
