The British Columbia Association of Teachers of Modern Languages (BCATML) is one of the many Provincial Specialist Associations of the BC Teachers' Federation (BCTF).

​The objectives of the BCATML shall be:

  • to promote and advance the teaching of modern languages throughout the province;
  • to communicate to members information related to modern language acquisition;
  • to furnish recommendations and advice to the BCTF Executive Committee and other committees of the BCTF on matters affecting language teaching and language teachers; and
  • to establish and maintain contact with other modern language associations.

​The BCATML Executive Committee is composed of dedicated and passionate teachers from around British Columbia. The Executive Committee is composed of the Table Officers: Past-President, President, Vice-President, Secretary/Membership, Treasurer and the Language Representatives for French, German, Japanese, Mandarin, Other Languages, Punjabi, Spanish, and the Elementary-Middle Years. There is also the role of Web Manager with BCATML's Executive Committee. All of these positions are for a one-year term with the option to be re-elected during the Annual General Meeting at the annual fall conference (with the exception of the role of Past-President, which is for a term of one year). If you are interested in learning more, please view our documents below outlining the different Executive Roles, and handbooks for both the Executive and Conference Committees.
