History of the Association

The AATF was founded in the state of New York in 1927, the last of the major language associations to be founded. Charles A. Downer, the first president of the association, states in the very first issue of the French Review that that purpose of the AATF was devoted to “…the maintenance of the highest standards of culture among the teachers, to the study and application of the best methods of instructions, the pursuit of the best conditions for teaching and the creation of the spirit of solidarity and mutual helpfulness without which these aims cannot be realized (Vol. 1, November 1927, p. 5).” This is not so very different from our mission more than 90 years later.

The AATF was incorporated in 1936 and, after many years in New York, moved to the University of Illinois under two Executive Directors, Frank Nachtmann and Fred Jenkins, where it was housed for more than 30 years. In 1997, the association moved to Southern Illinois University when Jayne Abrate took over as Executive Director, and in 2015, we moved to our own building in Marion, IL.

Under the leadership of many visionary presidents and dedicated Executive Council members, the AATF has continued to publish the French Review, created the National Bulletin in the 1970s, organized an annual convention, launched the National French Contest and the Société Honoraire de Français, welcomed many honorary members, began National French Week, and continues to promote publications and projects which support the teaching of French at all levels.

The AATF currently has 70 active chapters across the U.S., divided into 9 regions.

The National French Contest was established in 1936 by the Executive Council of AATF to help determine the relative student achievement in the learning of French in the United States.  The first level is called FLES and is for elementary school students. Levels 01 and 1 through 5 are for grades 7 through 12.
