That’s really helpful, thank you so much!

Hi Kate,

Thank you for your kind words! Re: BB02, yes, based on the bando, you will have to do the 50 multiple choice questions in Italian (including the 5 questions on B2 English=, just like all the other classi di concorso. It boggles the mind that BB02, AB24 and AB25 would be asked to do the 5 B2 English questions but this is what the bando states. The oral exam will then be specific for each classe di concorso, so it will be in English for BB02.

If you’re considering studying with our courses, you can choose from the one that preps you for the multiple choice quiz in Italian only or the one that preps you for the multiple choice quiz + also covers the main topics for the oral exam. As you can see from the BB02-specific syllabus, the last 4 topics (i.e. the ones related to language teaching and language acquisition) are exactly the same as AB24-25. What our course doesn’t cover is the “culture” topics for BB02, but the rest is there.

I hope this is clear and helpful and don’t hesitate to get in touch at chiara@languaged.org if you’d like to have a chat.

All the very best and good luck with the exam!

Hi Teresa!
So for the new concorso straordinario ter, the requirements should be 3 years of experience teaching and/or the 24 CFU, which I’m not sure if you have. However, this is provisional information, so I would encourage you to check the official requirements, which we’re only going to find out once the bando di concorso is published. This should happen soon so keep your eyes peeled. If you have any further questions, then or now, I’m always happy to help.
All the best,
Chiara

Please could help me understand what the requirements are for a BB02 conversation teacher to do the concorso. I have been working in an equivalent primary school since 2015 so I only have one year experience in a secondary school. I am in the GPS as a BB02 conversation teacher since last year. I am working full-time again at primary because there were no hours for me at secondary school this year.. Can I do the “concorso? Thanking you in advance.

Grazie cara, much appreciated. BTW sembra quasi che io mi sia scritta il commento da sola, ma è un caso di omonimia! 🙂
