“French immersion is a highly successful approach to second language learning — an effective way for students to become functionally fluent in French while achieving all of the objectives of the regular school program. French is the language of instruction for a significant part of the school day; that is, several or all subjects, except Religious Studies and English language arts, and electives, are taught in French. This program is designed for students whose first language is not French. The objective is full mastery of the English language, functional fluency in French, as well as an understanding and appreciation of the French culture. ” -read more at Alberta Education website.
Alberta Education has also produced a great booklet on how parents can help their children in the French program.
