CIFLTE Alumni Association


The Center for International Foreign Language Teacher Education Alumni Association (CIFLTEAA) at Columbia University is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to provide a venue for alumni to network and to help further social, professional, and academic communication.  We hope to foster and maintain a supportive beneficial relationship between alumni and CIFLTE.

 

Alumni Network in the Field of TCSOL

After Program Pathways

Following their time in our TCSOL program, our alumni have ventured into an array of career paths. Many have chosen the traditional route of teaching, finding roles in K-12 schools and colleges. Some have specialized as linguistic consultants, while others have risen to leadership positions, taking the helm at language academies and schools. A distinctive segment of our graduates serve as language instructors to US government officials. The academic realm has also appealed to many, with alumni becoming professors, or furthering their studies as master's or doctoral students. Beyond the confines of the U.S., our alumni network extends to educational corporations and institutions in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, France, U.K., etc.

The institutions and organizations they've been associated with include (but are not limited to):
