American Association of Teachers of Italian

Language Association Partnership

For over a century, the American Association of Teachers of Italian (AATI) has played a pivotal role in promoting the study and teaching of the Italian language and culture in the United States. Established in 1923, AATI has grown to become a leading organization, fostering academic exchange, professional development, and cultural enrichment among Italian language educators. The American Association of Teachers of Italian is a professional organization of scholars worldwide who contribute to the multi-disciplinary field of Italian Studies through teaching, research, and service. Our mission is to promote, advance, and preserve the study of Italian language, literature, and culture in its multiple historical and contemporary manifestations. The AATI achieves these goals by sponsoring meetings, seminars, conferences, competitions, workshops, national examinations, the National Italian Honor Society, and by publishing the quarterly journal Italica, dedicated to excellence in teaching and research in all areas of Italian studies. The AATI also collaborates with other professional organizations to accomplish its objectives.
