About

ACLE (Associazione Culturale Linguistica Educational) is a non-profit organisation endorsed by the Italian Ministry of Education. ACLE promotes a student based teaching method and is the first in Italy to teach English to children through T.I.E. (Theatre in Education) and organise drama courses for teachers

ACLE has been operating successfully for over 25 years. The company was founded by Arrigo Speziali and is managed by a team of collaborators located in Sanremo, Milan, Naples, Rome and Sicily. The ACLE office is based in Sanremo, a bustling coastal town 30 minutes from France.

ACLE is renowned for excellence - with successful Theatrino tours, teacher workshops and English Camps throughout Italy.
ACLE’s Aims:

  • To provide an English Language full immersion experience for Italian children who are unable to spend the summer in an English-speaking country.
  • To create enthusiasm and motivation for new multicultural experiences.
  • To demonstrate that the traditional Italian teacher-centred scholastic system of “chalk and talk” fails to stimulate the emotion and energy that an entertaining atmosphere can provide.
