| Title |
The Second Language Component of Primary French Immersion Programs in Montreal, Quebec, Canada
|
| Abstract |
The authors provides a critical description of English Quebec's long-standing bilingual school program that completely immerses Anglophone students in a French academic context. For Anglophone Montrealers, the immersion programs have been a staple of the public school system since the early 1970s. Owing in part to the province's language laws that have made French the official language in Quebec, and to the support from the target language culture, along with environmental reinforcements, Anglophones have flocked to bilingual education programs with aspirations of becoming functionally bilingual. With minor adjustments according to parental demands, curricular objectives are designed first to meet Anglophone students' needs, and second to match those of the French mother tongue students. The authors conclude that while the successes of immersion programs are well documented in the literature, Anglophone students rarely develop a linguistic competence in French indistinguishable from their Francophone counterparts.
