Learning focus
- French immersion is first and foremost a language program: French is both the language we learn in and the language we learn.
- Listening and speaking in French grow every day, in school and in the francophone community.
- Reading a range of French texts builds comprehension and the habit of reading for meaning.
- Writing in French for a purpose and an audience uses the conventions of the language.
- Learning in French builds a proud, confident, plurilingual identity and a connection to Francophone communities in Canada and around the world.
