Abstract (English): This qualitative policy study focuses on the implementation and perceived effect of a recent language policy making English a compulsory subject in primary Cycle One (grades 1-2) in Francophone public schools in the province of Quebec. Based on the analysis of narratives from interviews with four teachers, three resource teachers, and two directors of instruction in charge of second-language teaching in public school boards, this policy study explored the perceptions, implementation, and effects of the policy regarding the compulsory teaching of ESL at the early primary level.

Abstract (French): Nous avons entrepris une étude d'orientation portant sur la mise en oeuvre et l'- effet perçu d'une politique linguistique qui rend obligatoire l'étude de l'anglais au premier cycle du primaire (1re et 2e années) dans les écoles francophones publiques au Québec. Reposant sur l'analyse d'entrevues auprès de quatre enseignants, trois enseignants ressources et deux directeurs pédagogiques chargés de l'enseignement en langue seconde dans les conseils scolaires publics, cette recherche étudie les perceptions, la mise en oeuvre et les effets de la politique visant l'enseignement obligatoire de l'ALS au début du primaire.
