Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Canada is considered a bilingual nation yet fewer than twenty percent of Canadians speak both official languages. Experts in the French Second Language field recommended “making French real” (Lapkin, 2006; Rehorick, 2004) as one way to increase bilingualism. This idea relates to the development of a language learners’ awareness of the living culture connected to the target language as an essential part of bringing language to life. Lapkin (2006) suggests that creating links with the local francophone community, virtual communication and student exchange programs with francophone communities are all examples of making French real. For Lapkin the best way to make French real is through contact with the target language group. With the global community becoming increasingly smaller, a key part of making language real is valuing intercultural competency (Byram et. al., 2002). Intercultural competency involves helping learners see relationships between their own culture and the target culture, as well as helping learners create a sense of awareness both of their own culture and of culture surrounding them (Byram et al., 2002, p.6).

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
