French is one of Canada’s two official languages. The French as a second language (FSL) courses offer students important cultural, linguistic and career development opportunities. Alberta Education encourages and supports such opportunities by making available FSL courses, resources and services.
In Alberta, French as a second language (FSL) refers to courses in which the French language is taught as a subject, often between 30 to 40 minutes a day, to enable students to communicate in French in a variety of school travel, leisure and job-related contexts. FSL also enables students to better understand francophone cultures in Canada and in other countries of the world.
