Chers congressistes,

Nous serons heureuses de vous accueillir à Milwaukee. Le comité organisateur a préparé un programme chargé mais de très haute qualité avec des interventions sur tous les aspects de l’enseignement et de la promotion du français. Surtout nous sommes fi ers d’avoir de nombreuses sessions organisées sur le thème des cinémas français et francophones.

De nombreux invités d’honneur ont accepté d’intervenir sur la position du français dans le monde. Notamment, nous saluons la présence de Azouz Begag, auteur, sociologue et Ministre délégué à la Promotion de l’égalité des chances, et de Jean-David Levitte, Ambassadeur de France, et de Richard Barbeyron, Consul de France à Chicago, ainsi que tous les autres représentants du gouvernement français. En particulier, nous tenons à remercier les sociétés et associations qui ont choisi d’exposer et de sponsoriser des activités. Nous demandons à chaque congressiste de passer du temps parmi les exposants et d’exprimer notre reconnaissance pour leur soutien du congrès.

En guise de souvenir du congrès, vous aurez également le numéro spécial de la French Review consacré au cinéma avec en couverture une image d’un cinématographe devant la villa d’Antoine Lumière.

28 A=Atelier, E=Exposant, C=Commission H =membre honoraire, =National Board NATIONAL FRENCH WEEK 2006 Start planning now for the eighth annual National French Week celebration. The dates are the same for 2005 and 2006, and you received a new National French Week poster in the April 2005 National Bulletin. We will again have special National French Week materials (available for distribution by August 1). Make sure to order early. Remember that every activity from large to small can be an eff ective promotional event for the study of French, especially when students are involved. Below is just a brief list of some of the successful activities organized by our members: • student-created posters displayed in the school or in local places of business; • a student-created mural featuring famous French or Francophone individuals; • a student-created giant crossword puzzle with French clues; • an exhibit of student-created reproductions of famous French art works; • a French meal served in the school cafeteria; • French menus for the regular cafeteria fare; • inviting colleagues in other disciplines to study units on French-related topics during the week; • serving croissants and café au lait in the teachers’ lounge or to the counselors and offi ce staff ; • a “French fact a day” read over the public address system; • poster, slogan, cooking, sports, or recitation contests with prizes, of course; • a job fair featuring local French businesses or U.S. businesses that have operations in France; • guest speakers including natives of Francophone countries; • immersion activities, Francophone festivals, fi lm festivals, performances; •a talent show or cabaret evening featuring all French skits, songs, and music; • a school-wide French in English contest; • consult the AATF Web site [www.frenchteachers.org] for other ideas. Do not forget that one of the key components of National French Week is to involve target audiences beyond our students and their families. Be certain to include counselors, fellow teachers, potential students and their parents, administrators, school board members, and local elected offi cials in your festivities. Begin working now to obtain a proclamation from your mayor and share it with colleagues in your city. AATF Chapters should begin work immediately to obtain a proclamation from the governor and make sure every chapter member receives a copy. Many of you reported having diffi culty getting media attention for your activities. Media coverage is a key component to a successful National French Week but is not always easy to attract. The media are interested in events rather than information. Present your news as an event although you may well need to provide background information as well. Court your local journalists and television reporters or, better yet, have your students do it. Don’t forget the school newspaper or alumni magazine. Of course, this year you can return with documents, photographs, and video from past events. Create a schedule for contacting the media with periodic updates both before and after the event.

CELEBRATE NATIONAL FRENCH WEEK NOVEMBER 2-8, 2006

NATIONAL FRENCH WEEK CHECK LIST • Consult the AATF Web site for ideas for your 2006 National French Week celebration; • Ask your students for input; • Invite colleagues to join you and share the work; • Prepare a fl yer for your colleagues in other disciplines, and ask them to support your eff orts by plan- ning a French-related unit during National French Week; • Order promotional materials, an AATF Promo Kit or National French Week items; • Solicit support from local businesses, civic organizations, or Francophone agencies; • Contact local media representatives; • Put your students to work researching information, preparing materials, and making contacts.

We are pleased to announce a series of six promotional posters for French teachers. The posters are full-color 11x17” based on the themes “Parlez-vous...histoire?” “Parlez-vous...cuisine?” “Parlez-vous... civilisation?” “Parlez-vous...sciences?” “Parlez-vous...sports?” and fi nally “Parlez-vous...français?” They were designed especially for the AATF with support from a grant from the French Cultural Service and the AATF. The brightly-colored abstract posters suggest many aspects of French and Francophone cultures that can be treated in the classroom. A 123-page guide for using the posters to promote French is included. Available at the AATF Exhibit Booth.
