Welcome to the American Association of Teachers of French’s Commission for the Promotion of French site!

This site was created to help teachers, parents, and students find ways to promote the French, and French programs, in their schools, universities, and communities.

Over the past few years, in addition to its other projects, the Commission has updated four brochures published by the American Association of Teachers French: French By the Numbers, French is Not a ‘Foreign Language,’ Now Hiring: Global Competencies, and Why Learn French?  All are available in the  On-Line Store.

National French Week

The image for November 1st from the second set of images for 2023.

In 2023, the Commission created two sets of square images to be shared on social media for each of the eight days of National French Week. The images were designed to match the 2023-2024 National French Week poster designed by the commission’s chair, Justin Charles, and align with 2023’s theme of All around me, la francophonie! One version will be shared on the commission’s social media during National French Week. The second version is available ahead of time for educators to use to promote National French Week in their institutions and communities. It can be downloaded here:

The Commission will continue to create shareable images that align with each year’s theme.
