Los métodos de transcripción del yagán en las expediciones científicas del siglo XIX.

The purpose of this article is to present a historical overview of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish (AATS) from its beginnings in 1917 to 1944. The objective is to trace the role of the AATS and its most representative members in the construction of an academic field that was emerging in the United States, always considering the geopolitical context of each moment, in which both Spain and Latin America participated. While a network of connections is being woven between scholars internationally, it is shown how the AATS becomes a pioneering institution in the creation of instructional materials in Spanish and in the configuration of Hispanic studies in the U.S. educational sphere.
