renaissance de la langue, technologie digitale, FNMI, AînésRésumé
Dans les communautés des Premières Nations, métisses et inuites (PNMI), les aînés sont hautement considérés comme des transmetteurs intergénérationnels de la langue ancestrale et des connaissances autochtones. Sans initiatives de renouveau linguistique, les langues ancestrales des communautés PNMI risquent de disparaître. Tirer parti des technologies numériques tout en collaborant avec les Aînés peut soutenir les initiatives de relance. Au moyen d'entrevues semi-structurées et d'une analyse qualitative, cette étude examine comment trois aînés qui utilisent la technologie dans leur enseignement de la langue ancestrale (1) décrivent les avantages, les inconvénients et les préférences de la technologie ; (2) révéler la précision avec laquelle les connaissances culturelles sont transmises par la technologie ; et (3) voir l'impact de la technologie sur leur rôle de gardiens du savoir traditionnel et de transmetteurs intergénérationnels de la langue. Les résultats suggèrent que même si les Aînés reconnaissent les avantages de tirer parti des outils numériques dans les initiatives de renouveau linguistique, ils sont préoccupés par les impacts négatifs potentiels de la technologie sur la relationnalité.
