Français arts langagiers – immersion
Update on the Français arts langagiers – immersion Curriculum (September 2025)
The Bureau de l’éducation française is currently renewing the Grade 1 to 8 Français arts langagiers – immersion curriculum.
During the 2025-2026 school year, the Bureau de l’éducation française is moving forward with piloting the new Français arts langagiers – immersion curriculum.
This renewed curriculum will:
- introduce new learning outcomes, as well as observable behavioural progressions, that meet the needs of each student.
- harmonize learning outcomes with those of the English Language Arts – Immersion curriculum to make language learning and teaching more fluid and effective.
- capitalize on language transfers between French and English, as well as other languages brought to the French immersion program by Manitoba students.
- support teachers in the planning, teaching, and assessment of language and literacy across grade levels and developmental stages.
In addition, the new Français arts langagiers – immersion curriculum will be aligned with the Guiding Principles for a Comprehensive Approach to Reading Instruction in Manitoba (2023) (
252 KB), which promote consistency and clarity in literacy instruction in Manitoba schools.
If you would like to participate in the pilot for the 2025-2026 school year, or if you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Bureau de l’éducation française.
Curricular Documents
The Curricular Framework aims to address the learning needs of students in the French Immersion Program in Manitoba and offers an overview of the competencies developed in français – immersion from Kindergarten to grade 12.
Orientation Guide
In response to requests from educators for guidance regarding the instruction of Français (French Immersion Program), the Bureau de l’éducation française has developed the following document: Practices in Language Arts, Orientation Guide, Français arts langagiers – immersion, Kindergarten to Grade 12 and English Language Arts – Immersion, Grades 1 to 12.
Please note that Français (Programme d’immersion française) will henceforth be called Français arts langagiers – immersion.
This orientation guide identifies principles for using dialogue and reflexivity (thinking together) as the preferred approaches for learning language arts and are foundational to the curriculum’s aim and goals.
