In our opinion, there is a clear and constant increase. We are talking about francophile students, meaning anglophones who come to us and take part in our immersion programs.
As a result, it is clear that our intake capacity is under significant pressure. Furthermore, the immersion program funding is indirectly provided by the federal government through, in this case, an agreement with Ontario. So, with more funding, we could increase our capacity.
Second-language acquisition can also be a by-product, meaning without the language being the focus of the studies. The best way to learn another language is when a subject other than the language interests you. For example, you could learn another language—say, French—by studying history. So thanks to an interest in history, someone might learn the other language.
This is how we motivate students to not only maintain their language skills but also improve them.
