Why Choose Us for French School Books

RK Publishing Inc. is the only Canadian Publisher that specializes uniquely in French as a Second Language (FSL). Founded in 2000, RK Publishing provides quality FSL programs and resources to Elementary and Secondary French Teachers and Students around the world. Why us? All of our resources begin with extensive research conducted across the country with French Educators. Our learning resources are written by teachers for teachers. This ensures that our resources are easily adaptable, provide active learning opportunities, and engage students and teachers alike within the FSL classroom.

Offering both print and digital components, we aim to ensure our FSL learning tools are at the forefront of 21st century learning in a way that excites French Students to embrace fluency.

RK Publishing products are written by teachers, for teachers, with the goal of providing students in the classroom with the most comprehensive and engaging resources for learning French as a Second Language.

RK Publishing produces all Canadian products exclusively devoted to FSL in the Canadian classroom. Our team is comprised of Canadian authors, publishers, editors and artists who have all spent time in the classroom. From that knowledge and experience comes a unique perspective on what teachers in an FSL classroom need and then offers the best approach in meeting those needs.

All of our products and programs begin with extensive research conducted across the country. Involving educators, administrators and parents, RK Publishing gains a deep understanding of the market and then develops and builds a product that addresses that market need.

Our resources are created with the following goals in mind

  • to promote bilingualism and student retention in FSL programs by providing opportunities for students to succeed so that they see the rich rewards of continuing to learn French
  • to provide students with active learning opportunities and age-appropriate choices to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding
  • to create resources that develop in students a passion and understanding of the language and cultures of Francophone communities around the world
  • to address current research, education priorities, curricular requirements and pedagogical initiatives in the development of each new resource

We believe that it is essential that consultants, teachers and students have confidence in the resources they use from a publisher they can trust.
