Program requirements
Students begin core french in grade four and then can continue all the way to grade twelve. All schools should implement primary Core French so that they can prepare their students for more intensive French programs, for example ICF and late french immersion (Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Education, n.d.). T he Schools should plan an instructional sequence for Grades 1-6 that shows the systematic development and use of language skills and the development of linguistic knowledge. Grades 1-3, children should have a daily french period of at least twenty minutes. The optional Primary Core French Program promotes listening comprehension, encourages oral production, fosters positive attitudes towards learning French, and introduces French culture. (Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Education, n.d.).
In grades four to six, is it required for teachers to spend 10% of their instructional time teaching French (Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Education, 2002). Language arts has 24% and math 16%, but french has more than the allotted times for science (8%) and other subject areas (Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Education, 2002). The Newfoundland Department of Education puts these percentages into place, and all schools are required to participate (Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Education, n.d.; Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Education, 2002).
When students finish Core French in grade six, they can either enroll in the Late French Immersion program, or continue doing the Core French program at the intermediate level. If they choose this option, 10% of instructional time is allotted to the teaching of French. The students have a choice between these two options but they have to do some sort of french education (Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Education, 2014).
