| WELCOME!
The Hawai'i Association of Language Teachers is a group of World
Language Teachers from K-12 and higher education institutions in
Hawai'i who work to maintain the highest standards in the profession
of teaching world languages. We also promote the academic welfare
of our students by providing steadily improving professional procedures
and objectives for all teachers. Our organization provides teachers
of world languages with the opportunity to meet with their colleagues
to exchange ideas and experiences, and to enrich their professional
background.
Membership is open to all foreign
language teachers and administrators in Hawai'i. Language students
may also participate as non-voting members within the organization.
Please complete the Membership Form
and mail it or bring it to an event along with your payment.
Want to get more involved with the HALT Organization? Nominations
for all positions are open to all members. See position titles at
Executive Board page. Please e-mail nominations
to the HALT President by Feb. 1. We ask that you make sure that
the person who you are nominating has agreed to serve if elected.
Officers are elected by members at the HALT Spring Conference.
HALT coordinates two events per year: a Fall
Symposium on specific topics, and a Spring
Conference, in which members and guest speakers present pedagogical
or research topics on language teaching and learning. HALT also
publishes a quarterly newsletter.
