Will my child’s English language skills suffer?
NO – Young children adapt to learning French in French-second-language (FSL) programs because it is done in a
child-friendly and language-friendly way. Learning more than one language has proven to be very positive. In fact,
studies show that language skills developed while learning French are used to learn and use English and vice versa.
In French immersion programs, English is introduced by Grade 3 in most provinces so children have a chance to put
their learning skills to use while at the same time parents and the community continue to reinforce the development
of their English-language skills.
Research: A 1991 review of research showed that although French immersion students sometimes lag behind at Grade 3,
they match and often surpass English program students’ performance in English-language skills by Grade 4 or 5.
