Eight French storybooks published by Orca Books, one of the exhibitors at the AATF 2025 National Convention this week in Chicago. A huge shoutout to all of our Canadian, French, and other international friends who joined us by the lake.

Vive la tombola! AATF events not only have great workshops and sessions, but the best exhibits, food and prizes. I came up the lucky winner of 8 French storybooks from Canadian publisher Orca Books. Merci, Orca! #aatf25 #aatfrench #Frenchteachers #iteachWL

The BEST part of attending a national language conference is running into one your former students, who is now a WL teacher herself. Maddy Ethington teaches French in Alabama and is a member of the AATF Leadership Academy 2025 cohort. Félicitations Maddy! 👏👏👏 #aatf25 #aatfrench #Frenchteachers

Alice McLean of Chicago won the Wolof phrase book from Vive at the #AATF25 convention! She's a retired teacher and told us that winning this phrase book is a sign she should travel to Senegal! 🇸🇳

We agree! 💚💛♥️
