How do French-language schools accommodate the needs of both native French speakers and native English speakers?
FLE has special programs and services designed specifically to meet the needs of all students accepted in a French-language school. One of these programs, called Programme d’actualisation de la langue française (ALF), has been developed to meet the needs of students who must develop and improve their proficiency in French in order to succeed academically. Based on an individualized evaluation of the student’s proficiency in French, a program is designed to bring the student’s linguistic competencies up to par. Through differentiated instruction, teachers help students master listening, reading and writing skills in French. The policy statement and guidelines on the admission, welcoming and support of students receiving a French-language education in Ontario will ensure that every student, regardless of his or her background, receives the appropriate support and programs.
