The National French Contest is one of the most important activities of the American Association of Teachers of French. It gives the opportunity for over 100,000 students of French throughout the U.S. and in American schools around the world to participate in a contest to see how well they do in French and to be recognized for their accomplishments. In our own chapter, we had over 1,500 students who participated last year! In 2011, we had 106 national winners at all levels, including 5 first place awards!
