On the 11th and 12th of May 2017, the Official Languages and Bilingualism Institute at the University of Ottawa hosted the symposium: “Immersion in higher education: Where do we stand today?” This symposium was a wonderful opportunity to review the richness, complexity and plural dimensions associated to the concept of immersion. Indeed, the goal of the symposium was to not only mark the 10-year anniversary of the launch of the Régime d’immersion en français (RIF) at the University of Ottawa but also to bring together key stakeholders and specialists from various regions of Canada and the world to faire le point and review what has been accomplished in recent years when we refer to the application of content-based language teaching to the context of post-secondary education.

A discussion of the replicability of the University of Victoria program at Matsqui Institu- tion in terms of other prisons in North America. The theory behind the program is discussed, i.e., Kohlberg's theory of moral development and its relationship to behavior. The program is analyzed in terms of relations with the institution, type of courses, the necessity of establishing an alternative community within the prison and the type of staff necessary to maintain the program. The necessity of encouraging a "student identity "is stressed in order to facilitate the development process implicit in the program.
