What is COFLT?
The Confederation in Oregon for Language Teaching (COFLT),
Oregon's statewide association of second language professionals
for all languages at all levels, immersion and non-immersion,
works with educators statewide to improve language learning
and teaching. COFLT promotes cooperation among colleagues,
state agencies, the legislature and the public to make second
language a reality for all Oregonians in the 21st century.
Led by professionals who volunteer their time, COFLT shares
an office and staff with the Oregon International Council
(OIC). COFLT members automatically belong to the Pacific
Northwest Council for Languages (PNCFL), in turn receiving
a conduit to JNCL/NCLIS and ACTFL (American Council on the
Teaching of Foreign Languages. Additional benefits for COFLT
members include but are not limited to: two conferences
in the Fall and the Spring, the Spectrum and Lingo(PNCFL)
newsletters, numerous grant and student-scholarship opportunities,
and much much more.
