Resources
In collaboration with indigenous professionals, our team has launched two new resources that might interest ELBP practitioners teaching French as a second language and who would like to incorporate indigenous perspectives: Activities for teaching from indigenous perspectives and Accompanying guide (promoting indigenous perspectives).
The National CLIC Curriculum Framework (French only) outlines the teaching-learning standards and instructional principles for French as a second language and the CLIC program for adults, from literacy to NCLC 8. The Framework includes 8 components as well as EDI (equity, diversity, and inclusion) principles that are integral to the Curriculum.
