Voilà Learning, in partnership with Military Family Services (MFS), is offering free online homework support to military children enrolled in French immersion and children with questions about their French homework.
The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) Ombudsman Report released in 2013 confirmed that relocation to an environment with a non-fluent predominant second language is a dissatisfying issue among military families.
In response to this challenge MFS began working in partnership with other organizations and enterprises to increase accessibility to language learning services and training for military families.
As an expansion of Voilà Learning’s existing services the partnership provides military children with access to free online homework help in French.
Registration is required when enrolling children to validate that they are from a military family. Once registration is complete a code is emailed to parents allowing children access to the Voilà Learning Virtual Immersion Campus.
Children find the customizable avatar-led virtual support of the campus appealing, as the ‘world’ they work in resembles a typical ‘école’. Plus, their questions are answered in real-time by professional teachers in a virtual group setting.
The homework help is available to children of military families five to 18 years of age enrolled in a French immersion program and children in the English system taking a French course. Support is available in a variety of subjects on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 5 to11 p.m. EST.
Voilà is a not-for-profit organization that unites hundreds of certified French teachers from school boards across Canada and United States. The organization also unites hundreds of members, teachers, educators and school principals with a common goal: to encourage students in their acquisition of the French language and to help parents meet the needs of their children studying in a French program.
