    The Journey to French Immersion: Reflections of Pre-service Teachers
    (Canadian Association of Second Language Teachers : Réflexions, 2020-01) De Silva, Noeleen; Roy, Sylvie; Dressler, Roswita; Mueller, Katherine

A small group of pre-service French Immersion (FI) teachers were given the opportunity to reflect on their experience as FI students and consider how it shaped their identity and outlook as future FI teachers.
