The Council for the Development of French in Louisiana, as part of its effort to revive French in Louisiana schools, arranged for a number of teachers from Belgium, France, and Quebec to assume teaching positions in that state. This report describes the experiences and attitudes of those teachers. Attitudes toward language maintenance, and specifically toward the issue of standard French versus Cajun, were varied and to some extent correlated with the teacher's country of origin. The adaptability of the teachers and the interplay between common linguistic heritage on the one hand and cultural differences on the other are central concerns of the report. A narrative of personal experience, in French, by one of the teachers involved is included. (JB)
