Summer 2018 ACLE Experience

I had the best experience of my life last summer with ACLE! As a preservice teacher here in Canada, I jumped at the opportunity to teach English to Italian children through play and theatre. I absolutely loved the teaching experience but the cultural experience I received throughout my time with ACLE was undeniably unforgettable. I stayed with two amazing Italian families who were very eager to host me as a tutor. I have since developed a very close relationship with one of those families in particular and look forward to seeing them again upon my next trip to Italy. Moreover, my experience at orientation was definitely one of the highlights of my trip. I met many people from different parts of the world who have impacted my life in indescribable ways. It goes without saying at this point, but I would definitely recommend applying for ACLE! It exceeded all of my expectations and as soon as I met the orientation training staff, all of my fears melted away.
