Welcome to the web site of the North Carolina Chapter of the AATG, the American Association of Teachers of German.
The NCAATG seeks to promote and improve the teaching of German in North Carolina, to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas among teachers of German, and to promote a sense of joint effort and a spirit of cooperation and fellowship among its members. In this effort we are being supported by our national office as well as the Goethe-Institut New York.
Any teacher of German or anyone interested in the teaching of German may join the chapter and the national organization. If you are interested in becoming a member, please consult our constitution and by-laws and see the information on the national page. We would love to have you! (Once you become a member of AATG, and you register an address in North Carolina, you will automatically be assigned to the NC chapter). If you are a member but have not been receiving messages through the chapter's listserv, please contact the webmaster.
Special Courtesy: If you are a new K-12 teacher, we want you to join us and attend our meetings! To that end, NCAATG will be happy to pay your membership dues for the calendar year 2010. (You then pay the next two years at the reduced rate of $35, the regular flat rate thereafter). Contact the President if you would like to take advantage of this offer. We would love to have you!

Study Trip Awards.
2010 proved to be a good year for North Carolina. 673 students took the AATG National German Exam. Sixteen of those applied for the Study Trip Award — eleven for the non-senior award and five for the senior award.
Our Testing Chair, Burkhard Henke, reviewed the written applications carefully and interviewed every applicant for about 30 minutes during a scheduled telephone interview. We could not be more pleased that, once again, North Carolina will be among those states sending a student to Germany.
Please join us in congratulating Thorys (TJ) Stensrud of Providence High School in Charlotte and his teacher, Linda Horvath, for winning the regular study trip award.

Life Membership in AATG for $1,500
Great news out of New Jersey, the price for a life membership in AATG has been reduced from $3,000 to $1,500!
We realize a life membership is not for everyone but if you can at all afford it, you may want to consider this option as you renew your membership for 2008. It's a great deal and you'll be supporting a worthwhile cause. Of course, you'll still be receiving the same benefits you're accustomed to (the journals, special member prices on teaching materials, the quarterly newsletters and Infoblätter, invitations to AATG workshops and professional development seminars, etc.), and you'll never have to worry about future dues increases.
Let's help make AATG stronger than ever. Click here to become a life member.
