- Summary:
-
This booklet is designed for eleven-to-fifteen year old students who are in, or who have just completed, a French immersion program. It addresses two concerns of students and their parents: (1) how well students are achieving in French, in English, in other subjects, and in their overall intellectual development; and (2) what possibilities exist for these students to keep up their French once they finish an immersion program. With these issues in view, the booklet covers the following topics: (1) the history of French immersion programs in Canada; (2) early reactions to immersion programs; (3) a summary of the immersion experiment and its evaluation; (4) results of the French immersion studies, including views of immersions students in various parts of Canada; and (5) what students can do after immersion classes to get secondary immersion programs or continuing programs, and to maintain their French fluency in non-academic ways. The text is interspersed with pen-and-ink drawings and cartoon-like illustrations. Each section has several questions for discussion. (AMH)
