    Abstract
    When I first decided to student teach in Martinique, a French department in the southern Caribbean, my idea was greeted with skepticism and confusion by those around me. After all -- why Martinique? In most Americans' minds, Martinique is a lush tropical paradise reserved to the jet-set elite or to those who have saved their pennies to pay for that once-in-a-lifetime Caribbean cruise. Besides, they don't even speak English down there! This latter point made a good starting place for my explanations, since the major reason that I chose to student teach in Martinique was due to the fact that French is the official language there. I am currently completing requirements for a bilingual/bicultural endorsement on my Michigan secondary teacher's certificate, which requires coursework in intercultural communications, sociology, linguistics and ESL (English as a Second Language). In addition, the final requirement - the experiential component - stipulated that I student teach either in a bilingual school in the United States or outside of the country, in an area where my second language, French, is the language of instruction.
