The Parle Podcast

Cet épisode et les prochains ont été enregistrés pendant ces moments de distance sociale en raison de COVID-19, afin de vous aider à enrichir le vocabulaire de vos enfants pendant qu'ils sont à la maison. Ce n'est pas sorcier! Vous pouvez le faire en vous amusant! Ce premier épisode est pour vous, les parents, afin de vous expliquer les différents niveaux du vocabulaire et comment vous pouvez facilement enrichir le vocabulaire de vos enfants pendant des activités quotidiennes. Les prochains épisodes pourront être écoutés AVEC vos enfants afin de les initier aux nouveaux mots de vocabulaire ciblés lors des épisodes. Mes deux filles, Sarah et Julianne, m'accompagnent lors des épisodes afin de démontrer comment cet enseignement peut se faire. J'espère que vous allez aimer ces activités qui varient : recette, randonnée, bricolage, jeux de société et autres.

Lors de cet épisode, je vous invite chez nous, dans ma cuisine, pour vous initier à l'enseignement d'un vocabulaire soutenu lors de l'exécution d'une recette de muffins aux bananes et aux pépites de chocolat. Vous pouvez retrouver la recette sur mon site web www.theparlepodcast.com.

Neuf mots du niveau 2 (voir l'épisode S2 Ep.3 pour plus de détails) ont été ciblés lors de cette activité. Voir le site web pour la liste et plus d'information.

March is Brain Injury Awareness month and I am thrilled to be able to release an episode on the topic! This podcast will have you rethink the way you see social communication and pragmatics. Join me as I interview Dr. Lyn Turkstra. Lyn is a speech-language pathologist by training, and her research focuses on links between cognitive function and social communication in individuals with acquired brain injury. I was very excited to have her as a guest on this podcast. You will quickly discover her breadth of knowledge and experience in this vast and often obscure field. Lyn talks about pragmatics, social communication, theory of mind and much much more!

Megan Sutton is a speech-language pathologist and the director and app designer for Tactus Therapy, a leading developer of apps founded in 2011 for adult speech and language therapy. She has worked with adults in acute and various other settings with acquired communication and swallowing disorders with an emphasis on the assessment and treatment of aphasia. Join us as Megan talks to us about how these apps can be used to help bridge the gap between the work that is done in therapy sessions with a speech-language pathologist and home practice for people with aphasia. However, we mention during the episode that many of these apps can be used with preteens and teens as well.

Dr. Lisa Archibald is a speech and language pathologist and university professor/researcher at Western University in London, Ontario. Lisa talks about the importance of work memory for everyday tasks at home and at school as well as how it might be difficult to differentiate a working memory disorder from a language disorder. Lisa discusses some strategies that parents, speech-language pathologists and teachers may want to use with children in order to help them with their memory. She talks about how some tasks may put a high demand on a child's working memory or cognitive load and how that same task might be easy for another child.

In this episode, I talk to a couple who found out that their unborn child had a rare medical condition. Find out about their journey through this whole new world of medical terms and health care professionals. What is their impression of the communication between the health care team and themselves as well as between one health care provider and another. An inspiring story of a miracle baby's fight for survival.

En cette fabuleuse journée internationale de l'Éveil au Trouble développemental du langage, j'ai l'honneur de diffuser ce 16e épisode du balado. Marika Robillard, orthophoniste dans la région de London, Ontario, nous parle de deux billets qu'elle a rédigés pour Le Communiqué de Orthophonie et audiologie Canada. Dre Roxanne Bélanger, orthophoniste et professeure à l'École d'orthophonie de l'Université Laurentienne se joint également à nous.

You asked for it, so I delivered. Join me during this episode as I answer some of the frequent questions I get from families surrounding raising English-French bilingual kids in an English dominant community. During the episode, I talk to a few bilingual kids ranging from 8 to 14 years of age about their thoughts on language use. I also interview my dear husband, Kevin, to ask him about his experience as an anglophone parent raising bilingual kids and his journey as he learned a minority language. I also give several tips on what is required when learning a minority language in order to ensure mastery of this language. Check out the various resources that I mentioned on the "Useful Resources" Page of the Parlépodcast.com

I purposefully posted this episode today, September 25th, Journée des Franco-Ontariens or Franco-Ontarian Day in order to raise a bit of awareness on the importance of placing value on all the languages spoken in the home. Join the Francophone and Francophile community! Get involved with your child's school and find out how you can increase exposure to the French language.

J'ai l'heureux privilège de diffuser cet épisode fort intéressant mettant en vedette Sarah-Anne Lalonde, animatrice du podcast Que Sera Sarah ? et enseignante dans l'est de l'Ontario. Sarah nous partage quelques astuces pour rejoindre ses élèves, tout en valorisant la francophonie. Elle nous parle également de son expérience comme franco-ontarienne ayant grandit dans une communauté majoritairement anglophone. Écoutez pour en apprendre plus sur la construction identitaire, la sécurité linguistique, la fanco-fierté et plus!
