The aim of this study is to focus on and understand the learning gaps for minoritized elementary and middle school students in French as a Second Language (FSL) immersion programs in Ontario and investigate how these gaps may be filled through more enriched teaching and learning resources. The chapter seeks to answer, through the process of research and interviews, how FSL educators are advancing anti-discriminatory education for French immersion students, so that we may create more welcoming spaces for students from Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC) communities. The research and data collection outlines what the biggest challenges are that FSL educators face in trying to implement anti-discriminatory education in French immersion courses. These challenges include lack of resources available in French, lack of time to search for or create resources for students, vagueness of guidelines in the curriculum, and more. The chapter concludes with what still needs to be done and a call to action to help advance the field of anti-discriminatory education within the Ontario French immersion stream.

摘要

The aim of this study is to focus on and understand the learning gaps for minoritized elementary and middle school students in French as a Second Language (FSL) immersion programs in Ontario and investigate how these gaps may be filled through more enriched teaching and learning resources. The chapter seeks to answer, through the process of research and interviews, how FSL educators are advancing anti-discriminatory education for French immersion students, so that we may create more welcoming spaces for students from Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC) communities. The research and data collection outlines what the biggest challenges are that FSL educators face in trying to implement anti-discriminatory education in French immersion courses. These challenges include lack of resources available in French, lack of time to search for or create resources for students, vagueness of guidelines in the curriculum, and more. The chapter concludes with what still needs to be done and a call to action to help advance the field of anti-discriminatory education within the Ontario French immersion stream.
