As students across<br />
Canada moved to<br />
online classes and<br />
classroom teaching<br />
was disrupted, French<br />
second language<br />
students were among<br />
the most impacted as<br />
it added a whole new<br />
layer of challenges<br />
to learning a<br />
new language.<br />
To learn more, you can contact your<br />
<strong>CPF</strong> Branch directly. A new cohort<br />
got underway in January <strong>2021</strong> and<br />
the next group is scheduled for<br />
April <strong>2021</strong>.<br />
NEW YEAR<br />
New After School French Club<br />
To complement the Virtual French<br />
Tutoring, <strong>CPF</strong> has also launched<br />
a new pilot After School French<br />
program called the WIGUP Club<br />
– this is for students interested<br />
in independent learning using a<br />
wonderful and safe multimedia<br />
platform.<br />
The WIGUP Club is open to<br />
youth ages 9-14, who can access<br />
more than 2000 videos in French<br />
from around the world and on<br />
different topics. It allows the<br />
student to engage with French<br />
speakers and work on tasks known<br />
as “CreaCtivités”, which range from<br />
photo projects to video interviews<br />
that are to be shared on WIGUP.tv.<br />
Every month, kids will unravel<br />
their creativity and build confidence<br />
in French as they meet other kids<br />
from across the country. They will<br />
explore and complete different<br />
projects and be entered into draws<br />
for prizes. The WIGUP Club is a<br />
great complement to FSL students’<br />
education as it focuses more on<br />
the creative and social aspects of<br />
learning a language.<br />
The WIGUP Club pilot program<br />
runs until March 31st, <strong>2021</strong> and<br />
is free to all members – as <strong>CPF</strong><br />
is subsidizing the usual $25<br />
monthly membership fee. The only<br />
requirement is that the student<br />
has to commit to participation for<br />
a three-month period. For more<br />
information about the Club or<br />
to register, please visit the<br />
<strong>CPF</strong> National website.<br />
Stay tuned to <strong>CPF</strong> National’s<br />
social media channels and to your<br />
local Branch for more activities and<br />
contests as they are launched! n<br />
