American Association of Teachers of French (AATF)

AATF seeks to address the concerns of its members which include: promoting the study of languages in general and French in particular; facilitating the implementation of national and state standards in the classroom; improving the training of French teachers by encouraging minimum levels of language and cultural proficiency, and exposure to the French-speaking world through study abroad opportunities; creating opportunities and finding resources for practicing teachers to update their skills and improve their teaching; encouraging the use of new technologies in the teaching of French and actively developing materials to support this use.
