It appears the intensive French program implemented for grade 5 students across the province is yielding positive results.
Intensive French Learning Specialist for District 6 Johanne Austin says the program is making younger children interested in learning about the language and French culture.
Austin tells CHSJ News, grade 5 students are encouraging the younger students about the program.
Austin says what makes the program work is the amount of oral work being done. She says students enjoy talking about themselves, and what interests them.
