CPF held its Concours national d’art oratoire 2007 French second language public speaking contest last Saturday, May 26th at the University of Ottawa.

Canada’s best French second language public speakers competed in five categories for $20,000 scholarships offered as grand prizes from the University of Ottawa.  Secondary V Philemon Wright High School student Hayley Miloff placed second among provincial champions from coast to coast in the Core French category.  In addition, Seharish Noor Khan from Pierrefonds Comprehensive High School on Montreal West Island placed third in the Early French Immersion category.

CPF-Québec would like to congratulate all Quebec students for their courageous performances at this national competition and looks forward to Concours 2008.

Do you wonder how to engage your students form diverse backgrounds in the linguistic duality dialogue?
