Transforming FSL

Key topics surrounding the inclusion of students with special education needs and English language learners in FSL programs are discussed from a principal’s perspective. This presentation challenges assumptions about who can benefit from FSL programs and provides options for making FSL more inclusive.

This project presents an opportunity to increase awareness and deepen understanding of how the CEFR can inform instruction and assessment practices in FSL in Ontario.

From Awareness to Action: Resources for Principals and Vice-Principals was developed to support principals and vice-principals in strengthening French as a Second Language (FSL).

This resource: Harmonisation des travaux d’élèves en français langue seconde (FLS) is the result of the collaboration of six school boards in Ontario. These boards engaged in rich discussions during the moderation of student writing tasks based on Ontario FSL curricula.

This toolkit has been developed to support school boards, educators and other stakeholders in their efforts to include students with special education needs in FSL programs.
