The Canadian Association of University Teachers of German (CAUTG) is a professional, not-for-profit learned society promoting German Studies in Canada. The association was founded by professors from twelve Canadian Universities in 1962. Since then, the CAUTG has enabled faculty, graduate students, and supporters to advance German Studies in higher education. For example, since 1973 the CAUTG has administered the Canadian Summer School in Germany, which enables Canadian undergraduates to travel to Kassel to improve their German. The association also helped run the now-defunct Werkstudentenprogramm (Work-Student Program), which allowed Canadian students to spend their summers working in Germany. The CAUTG hosts an annual conference as part of the Congress of the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences, where speakers present research related to German language, literature, culture, and pedagogy. The association also publishes Seminar: A Journal of Germanic Studies through the University of Toronto Press. In 2012, the CAUTG recommended that German departments at Canadian universities update their programs to comply with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

Seminar:
Founded in 1965, Seminar publishes scholarship related to German-language material or German-cultural material, and is supported by the CAUTG in conjunction with the German Section of the Australasian Universities Language and Literature Association (AULLA). Seminar has appeared quarterly since 1974, and since the early 2000s has featured special theme issues that often alternate with general issues.
