For Teachers of French only

French Embassy Survey

We know that a lot of you have already answered the survey. Please don’t forget to forward it to you coworkers that might not have answered yet. Thanks

Dear Educators,
Today, French is the second foreign language most studied in Californian schools. For this reason, the Cultural services of the French Embassy in the US, in partnership with the California Foreign Language Project, The American Association of Teachers of French and the Francophone Research and Resource Center at the University of Southern California have combined forces in order to provide the support necessary to ensure that the study of the French language not only maintains this position as an option for students of World Language in California, but also also grows in popularity in the future.
Hereafter is a link to a survey aimed to all the teachers of French in California. It is designed to try to get to know you, your job, your needs and your interests better.

For the survey to be the most efficient, we would highly appreciate your help in passing the link on to your fellow coworkers that we might not have been able to reach.
We would appreciate it if you could fill out this survey before March 31, 2011.

Sincerely,
The Cultural services of the French Embassy in the US
