Right now

CBC radio C’est la vie is doing a segment on French Immersion in NB at 11:30am.

Oh the irony!

Less than a year ago, the CBC published the following: “N.B. public school language instruction just fine: Lamrock.”

If you missed it there is a second chance!

This week C’est la vie investigates “Intensive French”.

The New Brunswick government has just adopted it as part of their strategy for increasing bilingualism in the province. And they’re eliminating early French immersion.

But what is Intensive French? How does it work? And how does it compare to French immersion?

C’est la vie will have some answers.

That’s Sunday night at 7:30pm (8:30pm in the Maritimes, 9pm in Newfoundland) on CBC Radio One, and Tuesday morning at 11:30am (noon in Newfoundland) on CBC Radio One.

Expected

but disappointing: the CBC reported that Shawn Graham finally spoke out in the legislature today after being pressed by the opposition, and he said that the government stood with the Minister of Education.
