The mission of the AATG is based on the belief that bringing the language, literatures and cultures of the German-speaking world to all Americans is a vital humanistic endeavor which serves essential national interests. It's the only national individual membership organization dedicated to the advancement and improvement of the language, literature, and culture of the German-speaking countries.
With 5,000 members, the AATG is for teachers of German at all levels of instruction and all those interested in the teaching of German.
The Fulbright Commission and the University of Tübingen have agreed to cooperate in an effort to offer younger American faculty in German and German Studies an exciting professional development opportunity in Tübingen in 2012.
