WHAT IS TFLTA?

TFLTA is an organization of teachers, administrators, and others involved in foreign language teaching and promotion of cultural understanding.

The basic goal of the Tennessee Foreign Language Teaching Association is to improve and foster the teaching of foreign languages, literatures, and cultures through service to the teachers of Tennessee.

The Association is motivated by the desire to improve communication among Tennessee language teachers, to provide educational services to its members, to conduct appropriate meetings, and to develop and disseminate information related to the field of foreign language education.
