The State of FSL Education in Canada

The State of French-Second-Language Education in Canada research reports examine how well French-second-language (FSL) programs are faring across Canada, using common indicators of effective support for FSL programs. The reports address a variety of long-standing and emerging issues in FSL education, like equitable access to French immersion programs for special need and Allophone students, developing more effective core French programs, FSL teacher shortages, post-secondary FSL studies, and more.
