Based on findings that Quebecois youth have important gaps in both oral communication and culture, the authors underline the importance of training teachers that would become both linguistic models and cultural mediators for them. The authors describe the representations of future kindergarten and primary level teachers regarding Quebecois French oral language, culture, and the relationship between culture and oral language didactics—prior to their training, in order to compare this to the portrait of the cultured teacher of oral French that they described.
