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.
