SCFLTA was founded in the 1970-1971 academic year to promote general interest in foreign cultures in the public and private education of the state; to advance the standards of teaching foreign languages, and to secure the conditions necessary for the efficiency of foreign language teaching. SCFLTA serves as a clearing house for projects suggested by the various AAT groups, and works closely with regional organizations such as the Southern Conference on Language Teaching (SCOLT) and national groups like the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) to ensure that South Carolina's foreign language educators continue to lead the nation in creativity and collaboration. The South Carolina Council on Foreign Language Placement and Curriculum (SCCFLPAC) has worked in concert with SCFLTA to make the foreign language curriculum in South Carolina the best it can be. All foreign language educators and those interested in foreign language are urged to join the organization. Annual dues include a subscription to The Crescent Newsletter . The offices of the Executive Director of SCFLTA and the Editor of The Crescent are currently housed in the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures at the University of South Carolina in Columbia.
