Our research helps us to better understand FSL programs and student needs, determine gaps in access or effectiveness, establish why official bilingualism is a valuable life skill, and provide evidence-based reasoning for the advocacy and promotion that helps drive Canada’s youth on the path toward bilingualism.

Position Statements 

In Canada, every student has the opportunity to learn French and access the French as a second language program that meets their needs and aspirations. 

All students have access to a wide variety of effective, evidence-based French as a second official language programs from Kindergarten to post-secondary. 

Proficiency levels and goals are in place so language learners, parents, teachers, post-secondary institutions and potential employers have a common understanding of each learner’s French-language abilities and the expectations of respective programs. 

Governments are accountable for reporting on achievement of students and French as a second official language programs. Parents and community stakeholders are actively engaged and involved in decision-making with school boards.
