TEFL Course in Spain

With its year round good weather Spain has long been a popular holiday destination for northern European holiday makers looking for a bit of sun in their lives. And the coasts are generally full of Brits trying to make a little bit of Britain in the sun, taking with them their cups of tea, bangers and mash and Sky TV cards. But there is much more to Spain than the beaches and tourist ghettos. From the Pyrenees in the north to the islands in the sea, the geography in Spain is as varied as its history. It is a history that can be experienced by visiting ancient Roman ruins such as the magnificent aqueduct in Segovia or the ruins of Italica in Seville. Spain’s Islamic history can also be experienced at the Great Mosque of Cordoba, although this is now a Catholic cathedral it is a wonderful example of Moorish architecture in Spain with its awe inspiring prayer hall. Then of course there are the famous Spanish festivals with the running of the bulls in Pamplona perhaps the most famous as well as the tomato throwing festival La Tomatina in Valencia.

So what about teaching English in Spain? Is it a viable option? The simple answer is yes, it is. There are thousands of private language schools throughout the country and opportunities are plentiful n the major cities. Although there are jobs in state schools for language teaching assistants the majority of work is to be found in the private language centres. The best way to go about job hunting is to actually be in Spain rather than applying for jobs from abroad. Preference will always be given to someone who is already in the country and employers do like to meet potential employees face-to-face. Another great way to get into the job market is to take your TEFL course in Spain, this way you’ll benefit from the local knowledge and contacts of your school and trainers and will also be in a better position when it comes to deciding where to teach.
