The annual bulletin of the French 8 section of the Annual Meeting of the Modern Language Association of America is presented with the texts of papers read at both the 1969 and 1970 sessions. The 1970 papers, in French, include Jean Louis Darbelnet's "Etude Sociolinguistique des contacts entre 1'Anglais et le Francais au Canada et en Nouvelle-Angleterre" and "Les Problemes de contact entre le Francais et le Creole en Haiti" by Jacques Zephyr. Texts of the 1969 presentations include Jacques Cotnam's "Nationalisme et litterature: le cas du Quebec" and Cecile Cloutier-Wojcieckowska's "Le Poetique de Rejean Ducharme." Introductory notes by the 1970 group leader, Professor Albert Valdman, examine the rationale behind changes in the format of the section meetings. (RL)
