Teacher Development

The Teacher Development SIG was established to provide a forum for the discussion of foreign language teacher preparation, both at the preservice and the inservice levels. Critical to the SIG are issues regarding the pedagogical and linguistic knowledge and skills necessary for foreign language teaching excellence and ways to achieve such excellence. Members are encouraged to suggest topics of interest to them, to actively participate in SIG-sponsored, and to discuss both successful practice and dilemmas encountered. Activities include sessions at the ACTFL Annual Meeting and year-round networking.

What Our Members Are Saying

ACTFL offers its members a professional home where they can connect, share, network and energize. I belong to ACTFL because I am a language educator, and implicit in that is the idea of constantly developing professionally. I am always looking for ways to better the learning experience for my students. ACTFL continues to provide me with opportunities to do so.
