Categories
French Immersion, Cultural Activities, District-level initiative, Vancouver Island Region, 2017-2018
Description
We had our second student exchange with the Lyon School District. Students traveled to their host families for one month in March/April to attend school and be immersed in the French language and culture. We welcomed the host family students in SD84 for a month in October/November to be immersed in the English language and culture.
Outcome
Students expressed that their oral French improved significantly as did their appreciation for French culture. Very successful and now a yearly event.
