AATF Houston Spring Meeting- change of location

The 2010 spring meeting of the Houston chapter of the AATF will be held at the University of St. Thomas, room 025 Malloy Hall (not at the Jerabeck Center), from 1:00-3:00 PM on Saturday, Feb. 20.

Et Voilà Théâtre presents La Maison de Bernarda Alba

Et Voilà Théâtre presents La Maison de Bernarda Alba
by Federico García Lorca
in French and Spanish with English surtitles

The House of Bernarda Alba, Federico García Lorca's last play, was written in 1936, a few months before Lorca was jailed and executed. Besides being one of the great 20th century playwrights, Federico García Lorca was an outstanding poet. Wishing to honor his writing genius, the play will include selected poems recited in Spanish from "Romancero Gitano" by a special guest, actor Antonio Mazu, who will portray the role of Federico García Lorca. French sculptor Véronique Chalandar is coming from Paris at the invitation of Et Voilà Théâtre, to create a scenic design inspired by the feminine characters of this play. She will use a technique that has been reproduced in all her "Originelles" collection: a sculpture built on a very fine structure, to emphasize the elevation of the characters, liberated from the traditional aesthetic models.

RDV FRANCAIS Events

Information for the next three (3) RDV Français events is as follows:
(As always, French will be spoken at these events. It need not be perfect, but your best attempt is appreciated. This also applies to invited guests. Total beginners should seek formal classes elsewhere before attending group events. This group is designed for those with prior French experience who want the opportunity to converse in French with others. However, if you have had even a few years of high school French classes, that should be enough to get you started conversing, so if that is the case, go ahead and RSVP "Yes"! ) Additional information about the events and venues as well as a means to RSVP can be viewed at http://www.meetup.com/RDV-FRANCAIS/.

Qui sommes-nous?

We are the Houston Chapter of the American Association of Teachers of French (AATF-Houston). The American Association of Teachers of French (AATF) was founded in 1927 and is the largest national association of French teachers in the world with nearly 10,000 members. Our members are French teachers at all levels and include approximately 3/4 secondary teachers and 1/4 post-secondary. We also have a growing number of French teachers in immersion settings and in the elementary grades. As a professional association, we seek to address the concerns of our members which include: promoting the study of languages in general and French in particular; facilitating the implementation of national and state standards in the classroom; improving the training of French teachers by encouraging minimum levels of language and cultural proficiency, and exposure to the French-speaking world through study abroad opportunities; creating opportunities and finding resources for practicing teachers to update their skills and improve their teaching; and, finally, encouraging the use of new technologies in the teaching of French and actively developing materials to support this use. Our regional representative to the national office is Dr. Jacqueline Thomas of Texas A&M University at Kingsville.
