Teaching English in Europe

"Whatever transatlantic trade agreements now exist or might exist in the future, one thing is sure: there will be no free exchange of labor between North America and Europe. As the ties between European nations strengthen, particularly among the members of the European Union, the employment opportunities for non-Europeans decline. Yet thousands of Americans live and work in Europe at this moment. Many of them have arrived in the past year and have found a niche, comfortable or otherwise". --Susan Griffith in Teaching English In Europe.

CIEE: Council on International Educational Exchange
Teach English in Spain
As a language and culture assistant in a city, town, or rural area in Andalusia, you can be part of bringing a nationwide bilingual initiative to life. There, you’ll work alongside primary or secondary Spanish teachers covering a wide variety of subjects such as history, math, mythology, and physical education as well as English to develop an authentic bilingual classroom experience. In addition to collaborating with teachers, you might also teach English to school staff, make presentations as an expert on your home country, work with small groups of students, or facilitate extracurricular activities like an English language club, an international day, or volunteering. Outside school, you’ll experience the spirit of Andalusia—hip yet traditional, changing yet constant—yourself.
