Editing Alsace (section)

===After World War II===
Today, the territory is in certain areas subject to some laws that are significantly different from the rest of France, which is known as the [[local law in Alsace–Moselle|local law]].

In more recent years, the Alsatian language is again being promoted by local, national and European authorities as an element of the region's identity. Alsatian is taught in schools (but is not mandatory) as one of the regional languages of France. German is also taught as a foreign language in local [[kindergarten]]s and schools. There is a growing network of schools proposing full immersion in Alsatian dialect and in Standard German, called ''[[ABCM-Zweisprachigkeit]]'' (ABCM -> French [[acronym]] for "Association for Bilingualism in the Classroom from Kindergarten onwards", Zweisprachigkeit -> German for "Bilingualism"). However, the [[Constitution of France]] still requires that French be the only official language of the Republic.
