I like your style. Where are you teaching?

PT, is that part-time?
is there any money to be made when having to work illegally?
Also, I don't think taking a course would be a waste of time if it is going to provide me knowledge and confidence in the classroom.

> hello.
i just finished reading a long, drawn out debate on here about the protectionist tendencies of the E.U towards North Americans, on here, i think from last December.
the simple fact is I am a Canadian 23 y.o woman, will have my Honours in English, minor in Italian, am searching for the "right" TESOL/CELTA course, and only desire to work and live in Italy. Can someone please tell me that my one and only goal in life is not a futile dream? 
grazie

In answer to your question, yes, it is possible to find work without a Cert. in Italy
I was a DoS there (Southern Italy) at the turn of the century and a large percentage of the local teaching community were 'un-qualified'.
End of the summer, begining of autumn is probably the best time to turn up looking for work. Put yourself about a bit and finding work should be no problem

I don't know the answer to your question, but I would suggest that you utilize a dictionary while touting your bona fides.
I am an Australian teacher with TESL and LOTE (teaching modern languages) qualifications. I have a Batchelor degree (Spanish and Arabic), two Graduate Diplomas in Education, a Masters Degree in Applied Linguistics, and nearly 10 years teaching experience.
Do I really need a CELTA-type certificate to teach EFL in Italy? It seems ludicrous that a 4 week course could be considered equivalent to what I already have!
