This report discusses the views of students now in the eleventh grade who participated in the original pilot class of the St. Lambert early immersion program in Montreal. They were asked to look back on their schooling and to appraise its effects on their lives. Their parents were asked to do the same. Questionnaires designed to elicit information on competence and use of French, assessment of French instructional programs, and plans for the future were given to all those who had started school in a French immersion kindergarten twelve years previously, and to their parents. Questionnaires were also given to pupils and parents who had been in the original English comparison classes. Results show clear appreciation for the early immersion experience both in students and parents. Students in early immersion express a feeling of well-being and satisfaction with their proficiency in French, which is much more advanced than that reached by the English comparison students. Immersion students also show a more positive attitude towards French-speaking Canadians, express more desire to stay in Quebec and to become fully bilingual. Appendices of the report consist of summaries of the commentaries of the students and their parents. (CLK)
