The American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese is a language-specific professional association in the United States that was founded on December 29, 1917, in New York City as the American Association of Teachers of Spanish. The name was changed to the present one when Portuguese was added to the association's mission in 1944.
The organization is composed of more than 10,000 members in 60 chapters across the United States and Canada.
