In immersion, the French language surrounds and influences the learner’s thinking at all times. Language is not only the focus and vehicle of learning, it also contributes to the cognitive and personal development of the learner. Encouraged by the teacher as a language and cultural model, the learner communicates, reflects and interacts in French, while drawing on the other languages to which they have access.
Learners become aware of the many facets of their cultural identity. They express themselves confidently in French, display their pride as multilingual citizens of the world, and commit to contributing to the Francophone community.
