Intensive French

At the Annual General Meeting of Canadian Parents for French, Dr. Claude Germaine of the University of Quebec in Montreal presented an update on the status of Intensive French. This is a program which began in the Maritimes and has now moved across the country. The objective is to provide a more intensive program that the usual "core" French program in schools. The results to date show that students in the Intensive French program are better able to speak and carry on a conversation in French than students who have only had core French. There are now three classrooms with Intensive French in Manitoba. Expect to hear more about this program in the future.
