SUMMARY:Strategies to boost student perseverance in FSL and French immersion programs through to graduation
DESCRIPTION:Showcase meeting 2 – Thursday\, November 21\, 2024\n  \nPRESENTATIONS \n\nEmeline Leurent\, Executive Director\, French for the Future\n\nLiving one’s “Ah-ha! moment” in French: French for the Future’s approach – The phenomenon of attrition in FSL and French immersion programs is not new\, and is well documented. High school is a critical time when students are making choices for their future\, often to the detriment of their French programs.

Marie-Claude Dansereau\, language professor at the Official Languages and Bilingualism Institute (OLBI) and pedagogical leader for the University of Ottawa’s French Immersion Stream\, and Marc Gobeil\, Director of the French Immersion Stream. \nContinuity of FSL and FI pathways through to university graduation: training bilingual and competent citizens – This presentation will focus on the pedagogical initiatives and strategies implemented at the University of Ottawa’s Official Languages and Bilingualism Institute (OLBI)\, to engage students in authentic and meaningful contexts in which they are “users” of the language. Initiatives and strategies that encourage students to continue their FSL journey throughout their university education and beyond. \nPlease note: At the request of several participants\, this showcase meeting will be recorded. \nDOWNLOAD THE UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA’S PRESENTATION (English) \nDOWNLOAD FRENCH FOR THE FUTURE’S PRESENTATION (English) \nDOWNLOAD THE SHOWCASE MEETING RECORDING – VIDEO
