Abstract	This learning module, which is part of a three-block series intended to help human service workers develop the skills necessary to solve the problems encountered in their daily contact with elderly clients of different cultural backgrounds, deals with communication and adjustment from the standpoint of the way in which French-speaking Canadians adjust to aging, disabilities, life settings, and death and dying. The first two sections discuss the importance of communication in old age and list the module's general objectives. The next section, which concentrates on communication practices that are common to French-speaking older Canadians, discusses language, leisure activities, travel, the practice of sitting in a rocking chair and talking, telephone, radio, television, attitudes toward the past, and gestures. Ways of life, habits, and impotence are examined in a section on the special ways in which French Canadian culture affects older adults' adjustment to disability. A section on adjustment to life setting includes materials on retirement, common retirement homes, itinerants, local situations, and attitudes (especially greed). The next section, which deals with concerns surrounding adaptation to death and dying, includes a discussion of death from the standpoint of French Canadian heritage. A list of selected readings and descriptions of six pertinent films are appended. (MN)
