To Whom It May Concern:

This letter is to confirm that Karleen Reynolds successfully completed the Teaching English through
Theatre and Play (TEFL.TP) course organized by the Associazione Culturale Linguistica Educational
(ACLE) in the summer of 2012. ACLEs educational programmes are accredited by the Italian Ministry
of Education.
This course, consisting of a training phase and field experience, prepares mother-tongue English
speakers to tutor Italian children and teenagers in English through creative, dynamic TEFL-based
activities. Elements of the course include how to use drama, arts & crafts, music, language games,
paralinguistics, icebreakers, and team-building activities to motivate students, expose them to
Anglophone cultures, and improve both their accuracy and fluency. Throughout the course, each tutors
progress is carefully monitored and evaluated by ACLEs trainers and Summer Camp directors.
During the field experience at ACLEs English Summer Camps, Karleen was responsible for
collaborating closely with other tutors and Italian staff in order to creative a fun, supportive environment
for the students. Karleen tutored for a total of 280 hours in various locations in Italy. At each camp, she
was responsible for tutoring and supervising a group of students and organizing small-group and campwide activities.
Being an ACLE tutor is a challenging role that requires energy, dedication, creativity, diligence,
teamwork, and responsibilityqualities that Karleen demonstrated during the training and in the field.
Future employers will find much to commend in her.
