Concours d’art oratoire | 2019
CPF’s Concours d’art oratoire is Canada’s largest, annual French-language public-speaking competition, involving close to 10,000 students every year, and thousands of dollars worth of prizes. The aim of this public speaking contest is to stimulate the interest of students learning French, to improve their speaking skills, and to give them experience presenting in public.
French Immersion Celebration Week in B.C. is from Feb. 4 to Feb. 10; this year we look back on 50 years of French immersion.
It all started in one Coquitlam classroom in 1968; today there are over 53,000 B.C. students in the program! Check out the history of French immersion in B.C. here, or see if there is a French Immersion Celebration Week event happening near you here.
