The American Association of Teachers of French (AATF) was founded in 1927 and is the largest national association of French teachers in the world, with nearly 10,000 members. Our headquarters are located at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale.

      A full-time Executive Director, Dr. Jayne Abrate, and a staff of three handle the needs of the membership under the guidance of an elected Executive Council consisting of 18 or 19 members. We have 75 chapters located across the U.S.
