Stay connected with the AAUSC community through our Events section, where we highlight upcoming gatherings at major conferences like ACTFL and AAAL, as well as virtual social hours designed for Language Program Directors (LPDs). You’ll also find events hosted by our language groups—including Arabic, Asian, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Slavic, and Spanish—offering valuable opportunities to exchange ideas, collaborate, and build community across diverse language programs.

AAUSC at ACTFL

AAUSC holds its annual meeting at the annual conference of ACTFL, the weekend before Thanksgiving. Each year we host our business meeting/panel discussion/wine reception, and a number of AAUSC members present sessions of interest to LPDs (see AAUSC SPOTLIGHT sessions in the Events calendar below).

The ACTFL conference is the best opportunity to meet fellow AAUSC members and discuss the most timely issues in language teaching, language program direction, and graduate student training/professionalization.

AAUSC at MLA

Having gained affiliated status with the MLA, the AAUSC also holds one session each year at the MLA convention, which takes place every year in January, immediately following New Year's day.
