HOW<br />
Canadian Parents for French Ontario is excited to announce the<br />
launch of “SayOui.ca” — a new website that encourages youth<br />
to explore becoming a French second language teacher.<br />
Student enrolment in the French<br />
immersion (FI) program in Ontario<br />
has enjoyed a 5.6 percent average<br />
annual growth rate for fourteen<br />
consecutive years. As more Canadians<br />
understand the benefits of official<br />
language bilingualism, the need to boost<br />
the supply of qualified core French and<br />
French immersion teachers in Ontario’s<br />
60 English school boards is of critical<br />
importance.<br />
The new website will help boost the<br />
number of French second language (FSL)<br />
teachers in Ontario by inspiring secondary<br />
and postsecondary students to explore<br />
this career path.<br />
The objectives of SayOui.ca are to:<br />
> Promote greater awareness of the<br />
pressing demand for FSL teachers as<br />
a valued profession;<br />
> Identify many experiential programs<br />
for youth to enhance French language<br />
skills while studying;<br />
> Outline the educational paths to become<br />
a teacher in Ontario with proficiency<br />
in French and qualifications to teach<br />
French as a second language in<br />
the province;<br />
> Provide links to all Faculties of Education<br />
in Ontario offering programs that<br />
lead to FSL teaching positions and<br />
highlight the unique characteristics<br />
of these programs.<br />
The show me why section focuses on<br />
these five elements:<br />
1 FSL teachers are in high demand<br />
2 Pride in acquiring a unique skill set<br />
3 Flexibility of work schedule and holidays<br />
4 Making a difference in students' lives<br />
5 Security in salary, benefits, and pension<br />
Take the Quiz – It’s fun!<br />

strong enough? The site provides links to<br />
