1, English
English is the largest language in Canada and the most commonly used language. More than half of the population in Canada speaks English, which is the most important communication tool in daily life, work, study and social interaction.
English is also widely used in Canada's official and educational systems. There are many English schools and educational institutions in Canada, as well as universities and research institutions that use English for education and research.
2. French
French is the second largest language in Canada and one of the two official languages in Canada. French is widely used in Quebec, Canada, and about 6 million Canadians speak French. Although French is not used as frequently as English in Canada, it plays an important role in Canadian culture and history. French also plays an important role in education, government and business in Canada.
Language Policy, Bilingual Education, Language Rights and Education Equity in Canada
1, official language policy
Canada is one of the few countries in the world that recognize both official languages. In the federal government, Congress, Supreme Court and official documents, English and French are regarded as equal official languages. The implementation of this policy ensures that linguistic and cultural diversity is fully reflected in Canada's social, political and cultural life.
2. Bilingual education
Due to the diversity of Canadian languages, bilingual education has been widely valued in Canada. Many schools in Canada offer bilingual education courses in English and French to help students switch seamlessly between the two languages and improve their global vision and cross-cultural communication skills.
3. Language rights and educational equity
Canada's language policy also emphasizes the protection of all citizens' language rights and educational equity. Canada guarantees the education rights of French-speaking communities in Quebec and ensures the education equity of English-speaking communities in other provinces. In addition, Canada's education system is committed to providing equal opportunities for all students, regardless of their language background.
