The American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) will provide full day workshops on developing and assessing communication, open to any and all middle and high-school teachers of Italian, followed by a half-day workshop to train lead teachers (identified jointly with the American Association of Teachers of Italian – as well as through a self-nomination process) to continue the professional development locally.
This is an exciting and enriching opportunity for teachers of Italian throughout the USA, and the Italian Language Foundation is delighted to collaborate with the ACTFL to achieve it.
