Rebecca Sweety Cancellara

Teaching gives me the opportunity to explore in-depth my two languages, Italian and English, and to cultivate my passion. I am in love with grammar and linguistic nuances and I’ve been lucky enough to work with a subject I love every day. International Language Center gives me the opportunity to work with all age groups. I believe that creating a parallel between two languages ​​is a valuable tool for students who approach a foreign language. Motivation and constant support for students is a cornerstone of my teaching method. One of the aspects that I particularly strive to share with them is that it is never too late to learn a foreign language and that failure is not an option. You have simply not yet met a teacher who speaks your language. This is my mission.

My educational path started in England. The passion for English in all its facets has allowed me to research and experiment with new teaching techniques. After training as a voluntary ESL teacher, teaching English to Asian refugees, I qualified as a CELTA teacher. It has allowed me to master the basics of teaching young people and adults from all over the world. I work for ILC Chieri contributing to the effective teaching of the English language.

The choice to specialise my teaching method towards young learners derives from my linguistic and artistic education. Children’s learning path is paved with games, songs, drawings and fun activities. I play with communication in all its forms, to stimulate and arise children’s inquisitive nature thus making their first approach to English fun and unforgettable.

ENGLISH FOR YOUNG LEARNERS

Michal Abastado

Ho lasciato il mio paese natale, Israele, all'età di 24 anni inseguendo il mio sogno di viaggiare per il mondo. Sempre alla ricerca di nuove esperienze, incontrare nuove persone ed avvicinarmi a nuove culture. Per diversi anni ho vissuto all’estero, studiando e lavorando, ampliando così la mia conoscenza della lingua Inglese, che ho avuto la fortuna di studiare fin da piccola. Nel corso della mia vita è diventata una passione e da qui una scelta naturale di trasformarla in una professione. Negli ultimi anni ho progettato e condotto corsi in lingua Inglese con un forte taglio ludico per le scuole materne ed elementari. Il mio obiettivo è quello di accendere la fiammella della curiosità nei bambini e di creare un ambiente accogliente e stimolante per l’apprendimento dell’inglese. Lo studio di una lingua è un’intrigante avventura che non ha fine. Come and join me!
