This paper will provide an overview of four Quebec educators as they speak about their teaching experiences in Montréal. Their accounts provide interpretations of the challenges that lie ahead for Québec, as the province continues to assert its French-Canadian political, cultural and linguistic identity within Canada, and as it faces an evolving definition of what it means to be a Quebecker, in terms of the multilingual, multicultural, multifaith presence of its immigrants, who live primarily in the large metropolis of Montréal. The teachers' insights regarding teaching and living in Québec provide a number of alternatives. Language is at the core of Québec's identity. Along with culture, ethnicity, geography, and until recently, Roman Catholicism, language embodies the history of Quebeckers and their struggle to survive. This paper will examine how Quebec teachers negotiate this linguistic reality in their classrooms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
