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 />

The interactive quiz provides insight<br />

fit for you. Wondering if your French is<br />

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