About Us

ABOUT US

The Inland Empire Foreign Language Association (IEFLA) has been serving world language teachers in the Inland Empire since 1985. Our mission is to provide high-quality professional development, resources, and networking opportunities that empower educators to create meaningful, culturally rich, and communicative learning experiences for their students.

IEFLA hosts workshops and webinars on topics such as using the target language, integrating AI technologies, and bringing more culture into the classroom. We also recognize outstanding students at the annual Honors Reception and support teachers through classroom mini-grants.

Serving San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, we invite all educators to join us to grow professionally to share best practices, and to build community. Connect with us at iefla.org, on Facebook at Inland Empire Foreign Language Association (IEFLA), and on Instagram at @iefla_ca.

IEFLA is an affiliate of the California Language Teachers Association (CLTA).  Click to view CLTA's W-9.
