This document provides a new perspective on teaching English language arts in a francophone school, a perspective that takes into account the aspirations of the francophone community within the following contexts: the federal and provincial legal provisions governing French first-language education in Alberta, the linguistic reality of Alberta's francophone students and lastly, our current knowledge regarding language learning in a minority milieu. This document is a part of a series entitled Teaching English Language Arts to Francophone Program Students (Grades 3 to 9). Two documents from this series have already been published: A Guide to Transfers and Interference (Alberta Learning, 2001) (ED456639) and Bridging the Francais and English Language Arts Programs of Study (Alberta Learning, 2001) (ED471059) Teaching English Language Arts to Francophone Program Students: Pedagogical Considerations is the third and last document of this series.
