Exciting Branch Initiatives
I have been amazed with the
line up of Chapter events that
took place this winter and all
the interesting performances
that have been organized for
schools this spring. Felicitations et merci!
The winter months were also
very productive at the Branch
office as we focused on a
number of new initiatives, including the design for the improved CPF(Ontario) website,
Betty Gormley
the updated Multi-Media Kit for
Executive Director
AMO members and developing stronger advocacy strategies. We are happy that spring is in the air and with it comes
the excitement of organizing Le Concours/festival d’art oratoire which will boast the largest number of participants ever!
On the advocacy front, CPF (Ontario) is driving home the
message that school boards need to be more accountable
for the success of the Ontario Action Plan. Monika Ferenczy,
President, Heather Stauble, Vice-president, and I met with
senior staff at the Ministry of Education office in March. CPF
(Ontario) has asked the Ministry to communicate in writing to
school boards on the accountability and transparency of the
federal and provincial funds allocated to them for French
Second Language (FSL) instruction. As we approach the
half-way mark of the Ontario Action Plan (2005-2009),
school boards need to be reminded of the expected outcomes that the Ministry of Education hopes to achieve. What
are those stated outcomes?…Improved access to FSL programs and increased capacity to deliver French immersion
programs!
If your Chapter is experiencing any resistance to expansion
or difficulty in opening new French immersion programs,
please contact me at the office. The CPF (Ontario) Advocacy Committee is dedicated to helping Chapters in this regard. The new website includes reports and agreements that
you may need to help present your case together with some
excellent examples of written communications and presentations to school boards that have yielded positive results.
Enjoy the warm weather!
Four Ontario School Boards Will Pilot Intensive Core French Classes
The Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington
Catholic District School Board, the Waterloo Catholic District
School Board, the Niagara Catholic District School Board,
and the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario
have all received funding to pilot Intensive Core French
classes starting in September 2007. They will implement this
new research-based approach to teaching French in selected schools.
The Intensive Core French program currently being implemented across Canada is gaining popularity for its innovative approach in helping students become more fluent in
French. The program is essentially an enriched Core
French program, which relies on literacy-based strategies
and increases the intensity and amount of time spent on
learning French for five months of a school year. During this
period of intensive exposure to French, students receive
three to four times the number of hours of instruction normally devoted to French. In Ontario students will undertake
this program in either grade five or six.
The program initially started as a three-year research project
undertaken by the province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
As a result of its success and popularity with parents and
students alike, the program is now used in eight provinces
and two territories.

The Suitability of French Immersion For Students Who Are At Risk
Students with Special Needs & Lower Academic Abilities
A summary of a Literature Review prepared by Fred Genesee,
McGill University, for Canadian Parents for French
This review revealed several things to note:
1.
2.
Little current research exists on students who are in
French immersion and who are at risk.
Similarly, very little current research exists on the
effectiveness of intervention programs for immersion
students experiencing difficulty of any sort.
3. Because of the lack of data, the
results of these studies do have limitations.
On balance, however, the author
indicates that the present evidence
supports efforts to include and retain
at-risk students in immersion. Substantial research evidence indicates
that at-risk students can benefit from
immersion. They can acquire significant communicative competence in
French while maintaining parity in their academic and
language development with similarly challenged students
in all-English programs - i.e. good readers in English are
likely to be good readers in French.
Having noted the above handicaps of current research,
much of the results indicate that students who are at risk
are NOT likely to be differentially handicapped in immersion - i.e. Students who are likely to have problems in
school owing to low levels of intellectual or first language
abilities are likely to have similar problems in English-only
or French immersion programs. Some of the results are
interesting:
3.
The review also makes several recommendations and
number 6 is very interesting since, as a general observation, if a student is experiencing difficulties in French immersion that student is typically transferred into an English-only program to solve the problems:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
1.
2.
Immersion students who are at risk in school due to
below average levels of academic ability are NOT
differentially handicapped in their native language
and academic development when compared to
groups of students in English-only programs.
(Genesee, 1976-78 & Bruck, 1982)
Students with academic difficulties can BENEFIT

from immersion in the form of increased levels of
functional proficiency in French. (Genesee, 1976-78
& Bruck, 1982)
Bilingualism does NOT put children with impaired
capacities for language learning at greater risk for
language learning difficulties. (Paradis, Crago, Genesee & Rice, 2003)
Additional research is needed on the academic and
language development of immersion students with
below average levels of academic achievement.
Additional research is needed on the language and
academic development of immersion students with
language impairment.
More research on students with reading disabilities in
English-only and French immersion programs.
Specifically longitudinal studies of at-risk students
must be done to examine their short- and long-term
achievements.
Further research must be done for the effectiveness
of interventions for students who experience difficulty
in immersion due to low levels of academic ability
and/or reading and language impairment. Comparisons to groups of students without interventions and
comparison groups in English-only programs must
also be included.
Comparative evaluations should be undertaken to
examine the relative merits of intervention for immersion students experiencing difficulty versus transferring such students to English-only programs.

newsletter.
More than a third of all English words are derived directly or
indirectly from French. It is estimated that English speakers
who have never studied French already know 15,000 French

Peel District School Board Celebrates 35 Years of Offering French Immersion
Martine Brouillet, CPF (Ontario) Board Member, and Betty Gormley, CPF (Ontario) Executive
Director, presented a CPF (Ontario) plaque commemorating 35 years of French Immersion
programming to the Peel District School Board (PDSB) on February 26. The Board’s Director, Jim Grieve, was honoured to accept the plaque.
Beginning in 1971, the PDSB was one of the first boards to offer French Immersion in Ontario. Started as an experimental program with only a small group of students enrolled, it has
grown to 6,885 registered students in early French immersion and 985 in extended French for
a total of over 7,800 students in the 2006-2007 school year.
In Peel, French immersion is available to all students in the public school system. Throughout
the last 35 years, the PDSB has been a leader and has shown great insight by offering this
program and by allowing it to flourish and thrive to the level it has.
Congratulations!

Toronto Catholic District School Board has Offered French Immersion for 25 Years
On March 7 Betty Gormley, CPF (Ontario) Executive Director,
presented a CPF (Ontario) plaque commemorating 25 years of
French immersion programming to the Toronto Catholic District
School Board (TCDSB). Accepting the plaque was Oliver Carroll,
Chair of the Board, Kevin Kobus, Director of Education, Judith
Esser, Program Coordinator, French Department, and Gérald
Dagenais, Superintendent of Education, (former Assistant Superintendent of French Second Language programs at their introduction to TCDSB).
Beginning in 1981, with only a small group of students enrolled,
it has grown to 1,364 registered students in French immersion
and 2,878 registered students in extended French for a total of

to believe that this growth in enrolment will slow down. There is
support and a growing demand from the community for these programs. We salute the TCDSB for its ongoing support and
commitment to excellence in French Second Language learning. Congratulations!

Five Ministays and an Exchange...
We could not abandon our passion for helping students
enjoy becoming bilingual so, for the past 2 years, we have
continued to promote
French second language
learning in a different
way. When Red Leaf
Student Programs offered us the opportunity
to organize ministays
and exchanges, working
with a well-established,
highly regarded agency
in France, we saw a
chance to again have
FUN IN FRENCH.
This is not a tourist trip. For those unfamiliar with exchanges, a ministay is a good first step that will allow you
to get to know Red Leaf
and our unique approach
to having fun in French.
A Red Leaf ministay, or
back-to-back exchange,
involves lots of advance
preparation and communication.
Families on
both sides develop a
bond and, when they
finally meet in person,
they feel secure and safe
staying with people they
have come to know.
Five ministays and an
exchange later, our host
students have welcomed
more than 100 visitors
from France. They have
made friends in Nice,
Marseilles, Nantes, Lyons and Toulouse, improving their language
skills, making new
friends and sharing their
Canadian way of life with
a student from another
country.
It has been very satisfying working with people
who are open to new
experiences, who feel
comfortable opening
their home to a stranger
and, from the French
point of view, who are
secure enough about our
program to send their
child overseas to a family
they have never met.

Great Work by the CPF Hamilton-Wentworth Chapter
On January 22, 2007 the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board voted to add French immersion programs to the following
three sites in September 2007:
♦ Dundana School in Dundas (SK program of between 30 and 40 students, plus an optional Grade 1 class with a cap of 20
students to be created through voluntary transfer of existing French immersion students from George R. Allen School).
♦ Guy Brown School in Waterdown (SK program of between 30 and 40 students).
♦ Lawfield School Site on east Hamilton Mountain (SK program of between 30 and 40 students, plus an optional Grade 1
class with a cap of 20 students to be created through voluntary transfer of existing French immersion students from Norwood Park School).
The CPF Hamilton-Wentworth Chapter applauds this decision, which will open up access to French immersion for hundreds
more Hamilton students in the coming years. Congratulations to Rosalind Minaji for her hard work in leading the school board
to expand the programs. To read Rosalind Minaji’s presentation to the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board, visit our
website at www.cpfont.on.ca under Advocacy.

Four Ontario School Boards Will Pilot Intensive Core
French Classes
Currently over 3,000 students in 125 classes are involved in
such pilot programs with both Newfoundland and Labrador
and New Brunswick exploring Intensive Core French as a
standard component of all Core French programs.
Monika Ferenczy, President of the Ontario branch of Canadian Parents for French, is thrilled with the news. “CPF
(Ontario) has followed this initiative for two years. The next
step for us is to support the teachers and parents of those
students who will be involved in the pilot classes. This summer Glendon College in Toronto will hold a Canadian Association of Second Language Teachers (CASLT) Teacher
Training Symposium and Information Session for administrators interested in starting an Intensive Core French program
in Ontario. We are hoping to foster more interest in the program. The fact that the Ministry of Education approved pilot
project funding is a good indicator that it is looking at alternative Core French options in Ontario.” For more information
on this program contact Nicole Thibault, Executive Director,
CASLT, at [email protected].
