VIVE LE TOUR DE FRANCE!
Honor Lance Armstrong and celebrate the American victory in le Tour de France! Continue the excitement of French in your school throughout the year!
Create more American victories by bringing your students the excitement of the Nation French Contest sponsored by the AATF (American Association of Teachers of French). Let your community to see what is unique about your elementary school through your national and local AATF chapter winners.
Like le maillot jaune which honors the victor at each stage, every school has a winner. Like le maillot blanc which honors the young riders, even the youngest students can shine.
Don’t miss out! Help us bring your elementary school French programs into our teacher network. Creative teachers all over the country are introducing children in grades 1 to 6 to the extraordinary world of speaking French while they are at their most receptive age. These children are: stronger in other academic disciplines, they have an increased global vision, they are more confident about themselves, and are more tolerant of others.
*Help us find those teachers who haven’t joined AATF who would like the opportunity to share ideas and resources with other elementary foreign language teachers (FLES).
*AATF provides support, pedagogical workshops, publications, the National French Contest, and a network to help interact with other French teachers at this level.
