About Us:

Associazione Culturale Linguistica Educational (A.C.L.E.) is a non-profit organisation accredited by the Italian Ministry of Education. A.C.L.E. has over 35 years of experience in the language-teaching and language-learning sector, promoting humanistic student-centred education through creative, motivating projects. A.C.L.E. is the first association in Italy to use T.I.E. (Theatre in Education) to teach English to students and to organise drama courses for teachers. Each summer the association trains and places more than 350 English tutors in camps to teach English to Italian children and teenagers.

A.C.L.E’s TEFL.TPⓒ Study Programme is a unique opportunity to enhance your CV by learning how to teach through games, sports, drama, and songs all taught at our orientation.

All applicants attend a one-week intensive training course, usually on the Italian Riviera, where they learn everything they need to know about teaching English through theatre and play.

Once trainee tutors have completed the orientation they attend a minimum of 3 weeks in camps across Italy from the Alps to Sardinia, putting their training into practice, teaching children and having the time of their lives.

Programme Highlights:

• Strengthen your résumé by becoming TEFL.TPⓒ certified
• Receive expert training during an orientation week
• Travel & teach all over Italy at our numerous summer camps while receiving a paid study grant
• Live with host families and fully immerse yourself in local culture and traditions, as well as learn/practice some Italian
• Build lasting friendships and lifelong memories with people from all over the world, your host families, and the children you will teach at camp

What we offer:

• A generous study grant, provided by A.C.L.E. Fondazione, which is based on the number of weeks spent teaching
• Full board and lodging, generally with host families
• Traveling expenses within Italy from one camp to another
