This article summarizes a few Americans' experiences teaching English abroad in Spain. The article discusses a few problems and expected credentials to have.
This article is relevant to me because after graduation I would like to work abraod and teach English. This article surprised me because it was fairly negative to the idea and programs in Spain. Through the article I learned that recieving a TEFL certificate is recommended, but not requirred if one would like to teach in Spain. The article also stressed that being from an EU country will improve your chances of finding a job rather than being a citizen of the United States. This article furthers my understanding of the industry by informing me which TEFL schools have accreditation and which schools do not. After reading the article I wondered how objective the author is. I would like to know if he had a poor experience in Spain or if this is the case for the majority of people who teach in Spain?
