Illinois Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages

Many of our teachers have been asking ICTFL, “Take us to ITALY!”   Next year will be the fifth year that ICTFL has offered a tour to our members.   As we’re excitedly preparing now for our 2015 trip to Cuba, we’re excited to announce our ICTFL Rome and Sorrento Tour for 2016.

ICTFL plans for our most unusual summer Teacher Tour thus far - CUBA!
