Teaching in Brescia, Italy Internship
UGA students of Italian are eligible to apply as English language assistants throughout the province of Brescia, Lombardy, Italy, in collaboration with English for Everybody, a network of public schools. Duties will primarily consist of assisting teachers during their English lessons. The English language assistants will also be asked to prepare lessons in English on other subject matters (such as History or Geography). Assistants will be introduced to Italian teaching methods for reading and writing, which employ the CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) methodology. This is a paid internship opportunity, which includes housing with an Italian family, meals and a monthly stipend. For more information contact: Dr. Paola De Santo desanto@uga.edu
