This grant-funded project aims to develop strategies, visions, and concrete innovative measures to position German as a Foreign language as a key component in transatlantic educational exchange and multilingual education in the USA.
Long-term strategy:
The project aims to develop innovative recommendations that will secure the future of German language learning in the US for the next ten years. AATG plans to respond proactively to current challenges and promote German as a living and relevant language in the US through innovation, accessibility, and sustainability.
The project is divided into three years, each with a key area of focus:
Year 1: Transatlantic seminar on “Futures for Germany” (Summer 2026)
- The 2026 seminar will include a grant-funded invitation to experts in the US and Germany to meet to develop strategies and build networks for the coming years. This program will occur in conjunction with AATG's annual conference in Boston, MA.
Years 2 and 3: Innovation Fellowships for professional development and training.
In both 2027 and 2028, 20 fellowships will be awarded to educators that include a summer course in Germany and funding for the annual AATG conference for meetings and presentations.
The objectives of this project are aligned with the strategy of innovation, accessibility, and sustainability. To learn more, please visit our website.
