17th Edition
University of Chicago
The Intensive French Day (Journée Intensive en français - JIF), supported by the American Association of Teachers of French since its inception, is held annually at the University of Chicago. It stands as the premier French immersion program for high school students in the Midwest, offering a unique opportunity for students and French educators from diverse institutions to engage in a full day of French-language activities.
We extend our sincere thanks to the AATF, the University of Chicago Language Center, the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures, the Film Studies Center, the Study Abroad and Admissions offices, and the Quebec Government Office in Chicago for their ongoing support and collaboration.
