What is the Anglo role?

We create a unique English immersion experience that allows Learners the real possibility to develop their fluency and confidence to speak English, while enjoying what is an incredible social and cultural experience.

Our Anglos are essential for bringing English to life through meaningful interactions and supporting the Learners by being patient and willing listeners. For Learners, the opportunities to practice and improve their English spans the whole day.

At our Campus, our Anglos are joined by our experienced English teaching and academic staff. Together they provide English learning that immerses the student in dynamic environment of natural conversation and linguistic support, offering the opportunity for continual practice – by speaking – with different native English and fluent English speakers, from around the English-speaking world.

 

For our Italian speakers to be immersed in the English language, our Anglos will need to:

 

 

Listen to and engage in real-life discussions

 

Support and encourage our Learners

 

Be able to offer Learners error corrections

 

Share stories, work on projects and explore topics

 

Help Learners develop confidence in English

 

Relax and enjoy the experience

 

Would I be suitable for the Campus?

At Speak we aim for diversity among our Anglos – including age, nationality and experience. This ensures that our Italian speakers can enjoy talking with and learning from people from a wide range of backgrounds.

For the Campus, we welcome applications from all college and university students and are particularly interested in applications from Anglos with a background or experience in the areas of:

 

- Music performance
