Abstract
The last decade has witnessed a major refocusing of core French education. The general dissatisfaction with the language competence of students, the far-reaching effects of French immersion programs on the understanding of second language learning, and the innovative and powerful influence of Dr. H.H. Stem have created a new form for core French. These changes have been made manifest through the work of the National Core French Study (NCFS). However, innovative curricula are only as effective as the teachers who use them. New directions demand a reappraisal of the way we prepare our teachers. Cinderella may have her gown and slippers ready, but will she really go to the ball? Let us consider the proposed changes.
