NEW Modern Language Education (MLED)
Introduction
Welcome to this web page for Modern Language Education:
French
as a Second/Additional Language Programs
• French Immersion
• Core French
• Intensive French
Other Modern Languages as Second/Additional
Language Programs
British Columbia's Ministry of Education Language Policy states that students shall study a second language. The majority learn French as the second or additional language, but other languages are taught as well, especially at the secondary level: Spanish, Japanese, Mandarin, German, (Russian in interior BC, and Korean--KSL Program in Burnaby School District Regional Learning Centre). Teacher candidates interested in teaching a language other than French as one of their teachable subjects at the secondary level are invited to select Modern Languages as an option. The program is identical to the regular secondary program but includes an additional methodology course for teaching other second/additional languages.
