Preserving, Advancing, and Promoting the Italian Language and Culture.

Membership in AATI connects you with every aspect of the profession, from the teaching of Italian language and culture, K-16, to cutting-edge research on all topics related to transnational and transhistorical Italy through its top-ranked journal Italica.

AATI offers K-12 teachers the opportunity to attend and collaborate at numerous live and streamed conferences on a variety of interesting topics. Their workshops provide teachers with material that they can then differentiate for their different learning communities.

The AATI consistently supports graduate students teachers and scholars through travel grants and mentorship programs. Each conference offers opportunities to receive focused feedback on their dissertations in progress and to integrate with experienced teachers and scholars in a variety of pedagogical and subject matter sessions.
