2025 Convention Call for Proposals

96th Annual Meeting - American Association of Teachers of French
July 7-10, 2025 - The Palmer House, Chicago, IL

 “Le Français chez nous”

All submissions must be received by December 15, 2024.  You will receive an e-mail confirmation of your proposal when you complete the check-out process. A copy of the proposal will also be available via your Member Compass (AATF members), once you complete the check-out (purchase) process.  You will be notified via e-mail by February 15, 2025 if your proposal has been accepted.  

Proposals may be related to any area of language, literature, culture, pedagogy, or linguistics touching any area of the French-speaking world.  Presentations may be given in French or English. Please use the language in which you are most comfortable.  Give your title and description in the language of presentation.

Presentations are to be given as lectures or talks. Please do not simply read a paper aloud. Audience interaction is strongly encouraged.

If you wish to organize a session with several presenters, each co-presenter should fill out this form and submit his/her/their own contact information and abstract (if applicable). The session organizer/moderator should submit an overall description listing the co-presenters. If the organizer is both presenting and moderating, he/she/they should submit an overall description as well as an individual description of his or her presentation. Please indicate clearly in the description which is the overall session proposal.

All rooms will be equipped with a video projector and internet.  However, you will need to bring your own laptop or other device.    

Each participant may be the principal presenter on only one session. Preference will be given to proposals submitted by AATF members. Presenters must be 2025 AATF members to participate in the convention and must register for the convention to present.  Any session that is presenting a commercial product or service must be scheduled as an exhibitor session. There are no exceptions to this.

Inquiries only: AATF staff Robin Anderson, events@frenchteachers.org
