The AATSP Metropolitan New York Chapter is comprised of hundreds of teachers of Spanish and Portuguese from all over New York City and Westchester who are committed to supporting and promoting the teaching of Spanish and Portuguese in the metropolitan area and the throughout the country.
We are a diverse group of educators from elementary to university level, both in private and public schools. We have been brought together by our deep love and appreciation for the learning and teaching of foreign language.We understand the importance of second-language acquisition in a world that everyday becomes more interconnected.
Our goal is to help the teacher of Spanish and Portuguese become more prepared to meet the challenges of every-day foreign language instruction in our schools. In order to accomplish this goal, we hold several workshops and professional development opportunities; we also sponsor several activities to help motivate the student in the learning of the target language.
