SUMMARY:Supporting and Ensuring the Learning of French as a Second Language in a Multilingual Development Context
DESCRIPTION:Showcase Meeting 2 – Tuesday\, November 24\, 2026\n  \nHow can we promote the learning of French as a second language while valuing the first language in a multilingual development context?\n  \nPRESENTATIONS : \n  \n\nGeneviève Brisson\, Associate Professor in the Faculty of Education at Université de Sherbrooke\, will discuss how to promote the learning of French as a second language while valuing students’ native language(s). Taking into account contexts where an increasing number of students are multilingual\, she will explore the connections between languages\, identities\, and the learning of French to demonstrate how students’ linguistic repertoire can support their learning.\n\n2. Stephen Davis\, Associate Professor in the Faculty of Education at the University of Regina\, will explore how to adapt French immersion programs and French as a Second Language (FSL) programs to better include and support multilingual students in Canada. He will address the experiences of immigrant and refugee parents\, the perspectives of teachers\, and ideas for making additional language programs more inclusive and equitable. \nLinks to the supporting documents (to come) \n  \nLink to the showcase meeting recording (to come) \n

SUMMARY:Highlighting Promising FSL-Related Projects in Canada
DESCRIPTION:Showcase Meeting 3 – Tuesday\, January 19\, 2027\n  \nWhat are some promising projects related to the teaching and learning of French as a Second Language (FSL) in Canada that were carried out in 2026?\n  \nPRESENTATIONS :\n  \n\nZarko Drljaca\, Manager\, and Mitzi Lee\, Specialist in the Recruitment and Certification of International Teachers\, Make A Future – Careers in BC Education – Make A Future’s French project aims to strengthen the recruitment and retention of qualified teachers for French programs in British Columbia’s public schools. The project promotes careers in French language teaching and raises awareness of available opportunities through\, among other things\, targeted campaigns as well as local and international job fairs. In addition\, various outreach initiatives targeting prospective candidates—supplemented by a concierge service—help support them through the certification and hiring processes. The goal is to increase the visibility of teaching opportunities\, support school districts in their recruitment efforts\, and inspire more people to consider a career in French-language education.\n\n2. Jessica Saada\, Executive Director\, and Marie-France Gaumont\, Senior Advisor\, Canadian Association of Immersion Professionals (ACPI) — As part of its second Canada-wide consultation\, ACPI gave a voice to more than 2\,600 French immersion professionals and partners to gather their current perspectives and take stock of the situation. The picture that emerges from their analysis reflects a field that is clearly in flux: student profiles and needs are becoming more diverse\, professional realities are changing\, and certain challenges persist or are taking on new forms. This presentation highlights the key findings from this process\, as well as the proposed solutions. \n*******Registration opens November 24\, 2026***
