MISSION STATEMENT: 
ACTFL's Mission:  To provide vision, leadership and support for quality teaching and learning of languages.

Welcome to the Home page for the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, the only national organization dedicated to the improvement and expansion of the teaching and learning of all languages at all levels of instruction throughout the U.S. ACTFL and its affiliated organizations represent the educators who are committed to building language proficiency from kindergarten students through adult learners. We provide advocacy, professional development opportunities, resources and opportunities for members to interact and share ideas and experiences.

Please take the time to explore the various areas of our site. In particular, visit the 2005: Year of Languages and the Discover Languages areas! These ambitious initiatives represent ACTFL’s efforts to join with the language education community in a  coordinated collaboration at the local, state, regional and national levels in order to promote the critical importance of language learning. These areas of our site will give you complete details about the success of The Year of Languages initiative and will provide access to resources to enhance involvement in this advocacy.
