Living and working in another country is an experience everyone should have. There are many opportunities for teachers to go abroad. It is hard to find the best program for you. You need to take the time and look at the different qualifications and find the one that best fits your life.
I got the chance to work as a Spanish Teaching Assistant in France. I assisted the teachers with many different skills from instruction to playing games. You will get to interact with school or high school students and teach them through fun and hands on activities. It was a lot of fun to help young people develop their language skills.
Spain alone has openings for more than 4,000 English teaching assistants every year. In Madrid, they are looking for 1,500 people. This is a great opportunity to learn and to travel in Europe. There are so many positions open that you can find the one that you are interested in.
The Spanish government is actively recruiting those under the age of 30 to come and teach in the language schools, other programs recruit teacher up to 59 years old. Beside your salary as an Assistant, you can work in summer camps and do private tutoring. It will not make you rich, but your expenses will be covered. The best part is if you will have the experience of a lifetime. You will need to pay for your flights and your student visa application.
Different English Teaching Assistance Programs
There are 8 different programs with different salaries, requirements, and fees. Some programs in Spain can last up to 2 years while others may be 4 years.
Some are more selective than others and some will have an application free.
You can live and get paid to experience a beautiful culture. Teaching English will give you the chance to see new life and have new opportunities.
In all the programs, you will fall in love with Spain. Madrid is a great choice; it has a mixture of cultural places to visit and a vibrant night life.
Language assistants will help students through songs, conversation, and games. They will also introduce students to another culture. When you are living abroad you will be immersed in a new culture and you will also learn new things. You can learn the local language and the customs and traditions of the country. Spain is one of the best places to do so.
Learn Spanish
You will learn a language by being around it. You can work with locals to help you learn Spanish as you teach them English.
