This exclusionary practice perpetuates the characterization of FRENCH IMMERSION as ‘elitist,’ and contradicts one of the Guiding Principles that “French as a Second Language (#FSL) programs are for all students” (p. 10): https://t.co/ykYRNdracn

A small percentage of FRENCH IMMERSION students struggle to learn to read. They shouldn't have to withdraw from the program in order to access needed support. Once they make the switch, most continue to struggle with reading in the English-only program: https://t.co/KMQRK0Zxqa

Why are some students in our lessons super willing to communicate in the L2 and others selective mute? An excellent - but not easy - article by some of the biggest names in the research on motivation in L2 learning.

Some FRENCH IMMERSION students are at risk for low achievement, but those students would be at risk for low achievement in the English-only program, too (Genesee, 2012). Our challenge as #FSL educators is to find resources to support them on their 2nd language learning journey.
