Abstract	British Columbia's first cohort of 58 students to complete their schooling in French immersion graduated from secondary school in June 1985. A survey used student attitude and opinion scales to assess the graduates' attitudes toward various aspects of French language and culture and their self- perceptions of their knowledge of French. A student intentions questionnaire was used to gather student background information, opinions on the immersion experience, and plans for the future. The results suggest that the students leave the program with positive attitudes toward many aspects of the French language and culture and a keen awareness of the benefits of having studied in French immersion. The findings show that they use their French language skills outside of school in many different ways, largely for communicative purposes rather than for passive enjoyment, and plan to use it in many and diverse ways in the future.
