Assessment <br> says Candian Parents for French - BC & Yukon!</h1> <h3>News Release</h3> <p>Released: Setember 24, 2004</p> <p>The BC Ministry of Education released the results of its Foundation Skills Assessment this week. Grade 4 and 7 students take the FSA in English reading comprehension, English writing and numeracy. Canadian Parents for French - BC & Yukon Branch is pleased to note that at every grade level and in every subject, French Immersion students performed better than the provincial average except for Grade 4 Writing French Immersion students performed the same as the provincial average.<br> </p> <p>One of the main concerns of parents in selecting French Immersion is its possible effect on the English-language skills of students. The FSA test scores show that the English skills of French Immersion students are better, and in Grade 7 significantly better, than the provincial average. This confirms the results of other research that shows learning a second language such as French opens up the imagination and creativity of students and may have a positive impact on performance in English and other languages. <br> </p> <p>The results are particularly remarkable at the Grade 4 level. In most Early French Immersion programs, students only begin to study English Language Arts in September of their Grade 4 year. <br> </p> <p>The FSA tests illustrate another reason why the French Immersion program is growing in popularity in BC. In September 2003, British Columbia set a new record with 33,407 students enrolled in French Immersion. A new record, possibly approaching 35,000 students, will be set this year when enrolment statistics are published by the Ministry.<br> </p> <p>Canadian Parents for French - BC & Yukon President Melanie Tighe-Lovsin noted: "It is important not to place too much emphasis on standardized testing. However, these results do reflect the quality of the French Immersion program. The program teaches understanding of languages and develops a creative kind of educational discipline for students. Learning a second language makes it easier to learn third and fourth languages. The FSA results and other studies indicate that it also builds confidence and skills in a student's first language."<br> </p> <p> A table comparing French Immersion scores with the provincial average is shown below.</p> <div align="center">-30-</div> <p>For more information, please contact Adrian Dix, Executive Director, CPF-BC & Yukon <br>phone: 604-524-0134 or 1-800-665-1222 <br>or fax: 604-524-0135 .</p> <h3>Foundation Skills Assessment Results - 2004 Reading Comprehension</h3> <h4>French Immersion Results and Provincial Average</h4> <h4>Reading Comprehension (English) (% of students meeting or exceeding expectations)</h4> <TABLE CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="2" BORDER="1"> <TR> <TH> </TH> <TH>2003/04</TH> </TR> <TR> <TD>Grade 4 - Average</TD> <TD> <div align="center">80</div> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD>Grade 4 - French Immersion</TD> <TD> <div align="center">85</div> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD>Grade 7 - Average</TD> <TD> <div align="center">80</div> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD>Grade 7 - French Immersion</TD> <TD> <div align="center">93</div> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <h4>Writing (English) (% of students meeting or exceeding expectations)</h4> <TABLE CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="2" BORDER="1"> <TR> <TH> </TH> <TH>2003/04</TH> </TR> <TR> <TD>Grade 4 - Average</TD> <TD> <div align="center">91</div> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD>Grade 4 - French Immersion</TD> <TD> <div align="center">91</div> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD>Grade 7 - Average</TD> <TD> <div align="center">90</div> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD>Grade 7 - French Immersion</TD> <TD> <div align="center">96</div> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <h4>Numeracy (% of students meeting or exceeding expectations)</h4> <TABLE CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="2" BORDER="1"> <TR> <TH> </TH> <TH>2003/04</TH> </TR> <TR> <TD>Grade 4 - Average</TD> <TD> <div align="center">88</div> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD>Grade 4 - French Immersion</TD> <TD> <div align="center">92</div> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD>Grade 7 - Average</TD> <TD> <div align="center">83</div> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD>Grade 7 - French Immersion</TD> <TD> <div align="center">92</div> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <p>Complete information on the <A HREF="http://www.bced.gov.bc.ca/assessment/fsa/" TARGET="_top">2004 Foundation Skills Assessment</A> can be found at the <A HREF="http://www.gov.bc.ca/bced/" TARGET="_top">B.C.
