This issue deals with the problems of reviving the study of French in general, and the use of French in Louisiana in particular. "Rebirth of French in New Orleans" describes a conference on French language teaching held in New Orleans on December 26-30, 1975, and organized jointly by the American Association of Teachers of French (AATF), the Federation internationale des professeurs de francais (FIPF), and the Societe des professeurs de francais en Amerique (SPFA). Discussion centered around such topics as cultural education, curriculum, the use of literature, and standard French usage. "French, Anyone?" outlines the French language situation in the U.S. Although less than a decade ago French language instruction flourished, it has decreased in the wake of the freedom of subject selection brought about in the public school system. The AATF, in an effort to stimulate motivation for the learning of French, sponsors a competition open to students of member teachers. In "We Can't Do it Alone" Lucette Chambard, president of the International Federation of Teachers of French, answers questions regarding French teachers' concerns and motivation, teaching methods, English as a threat to French, and student attitudes toward language learning. "The Great Louisiana Adventure" describes a two-year pilot project sponsored by the Council for the Development of French in Louisiana (CODOFIL) to bring Quebec college students to Louisiana to teach French to children of French-speaking background and to Black children.
