Abstract

This paper presents the results of a qualitative construct analysis (Kelly, 1995) survey conducted with 71 students enrolled in French as a second language courses at five Canadian universities. The objectives of this research are to conduct a census of language technological activities that students have used in their French classes and to categorize their characteristics. A typology of six major types of activities based on seven bipolar continua is proposed. This typology presents different profiles for each type of activity and provides educational tools for language teachers. The typology draws on some aspects of existing models from Chamberland, Lavoie, and Marquis (1996), Burnett (2000), Poellbhuber and Boulanger (2001), Perrault (2003) and Cantin (2008).
