Sending employees to Jonquière, Québec, for immersion French courses is not new - but using the functional approach in the classroom is.

A group of Toronto-based flight attendants were the first in-flight employees to attend a three-week session using the new method at the French Immersion Centre at Jonquière College.

Practicing French doesn't end in the classroom at Jonquière as students spend time with their families.

Beverley McBain-Bourke, Flight Attendant, in our photo on the right, chats with Mme Régis Trembley, who has opened her home to some 150 students over the years.

In this photo, Robert Becks, Flight Service Director, left, and Elga Enser-Sharpe, Flight Attendant, review course material they can use on the job.
