Welcome to the ATJO!
The
Association of Teachers of Japanese in Oregon was founded
in 1987. We were organized for the purpose of promoting,
encouraging, and supporting the teaching of Japanese in
the State of Oregon. Our membership includes teachers of
college, high school, middle school, and elementary programs
throughtout the state. We also welcome teachers of Japanese
language programs that are outside of the traditional school
setting.
It is our hope and purpose to strengthen the network between
all Japanese teachers in Oregon through workshops, a quarterly
newsletter, and involvement with other professional organizations
like the NCJLT (National Council of Japanese Language Teachers)
and COFLT (The Confederation in Oregon for Language Teaching).
We share a common desire to improve ourselves professionally
as teachers and to raise the standards for second language
education among students at all levels of study.
