Core French, which is mandatory from Grade 4 through 9, is a program where French is learned and taught in regularly scheduled instructional periods. Intensive French is offered as an alternative delivery model for Core French in Grade 6 in some school boards.
Instructional time for Core French is as prescribed in the Public School Programs document.
It is recommended that wherever it is reasonably possible, a specific classroom be designated for teaching French in order to create and maintain an atmosphere facilitating French second language learning.
As well, students should have access to currently authorized teaching materials as well as to a variety of supplementary resources, including authentic documents and technology.
