What is ELAMB French Immersion Program?

The ELAMB French Immersion Program is designed based on the Ontario curriculum to help children develop a strong foundation in the French language. Our immersion program covers in-depth knowledge regarding the French language, including vocabulary, reading, gramma, writing, listening, and speaking.

Variety

Adding a variety of content to your curriculum helps develop all four language skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The variety of formats also keeps lessons fresh, engaging, and incredibly effective.

Relevance

An effective immersion curriculum is based on students’ age, fluency level and general knowledge. It considers the unique skills and content that they’ve learned throughout their academic journey so far and expands on it. We design our immersion program to fit their levels and meet their unique needs and interests.

French-only Zone

We are trying to expose our students to a French environment as much as possible. Our teachers minimalize the usage of English during class. In doing so, we are fostering our students’ habits to think in French.

Greater linguistic skills

Students are immersed in the language. Students could develop a strong understanding and command of the French language. This can be an important asset for students, both in their academic studies and in their future careers.

Understand other cultures

By learning in a French-speaking environment, students are exposed to the culture and traditions of France and other Francophone countries. This can help them to develop a greater appreciation for cultural diversity.

Benefit students academically

Studies have shown that students who participate in these programs tend to perform better on standardized tests than those who do not. They also tend to have higher grades overall. This is likely since they are better able to understand and retain information when they are learning in their second language.
