Perks of Teaching English in Spain
These are the main highlights to consider the opportunity to teach English in Spain with ConversaSpain and make this exciting opportunity a reality.
SAY “HOLA” TO THE SPANISH LIFESTYLE
It’s a great opportunity to completely be immersed in the culture of Spain and get to know the wonderful people who live there. Discover local festivals, try new and unfamiliar dishes made by those who know them best, learn about traditions and the history of the people, and truly come to understand the Spanish people.
Most of the offered locations are affordable in terms of living and life is generally relaxed. At the same time, Spain’s public transportation system is well known due to its low cost and convenient network.
GET OUT OF THE COMFORT ZONE AND LEARN LIFE SKILLS
Those who teach English in Spain place themselves outside of their comfort zone and become more than an ESL teacher. Although taking a step into the unknown can be daunting, ConversaSpain walks by your side the whole time. Moreover, participants become ambassadors of their culture, assisting with so much more than just teaching English as a second language.
LEARN SPANISH WHILE TEACHING ENGLISH
Spanish is one of the most popular languages to be learning. With over 493 million native speakers across the globe, Spanish is the second most commonly spoken language after Mandarin and before English. Learning this language will certainly open doors and create opportunities not only in Spain but across Latin America and the USA.
GAIN INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE TO BOOST FUTURE EMPLOYABILITY
Gaining valuable experience abroad and in an international setting is extremely valuable nowadays. Employers understand the importance of life skills acquired from leaving the comfort of your home country and by teaching English in Spain, participants gain those transferable skills for their resumes.
Requirements to Teach English in Spain
You will have a very active role in supporting the main teacher and helping students improve their conversation skills. You don’t need previous experience teaching to do so, but you will need to meet some requirements:
- Be a native-level English speaker from Australia, Canada, Fiji, Malta, New Zealand, the Republic of Ireland, Solomon Islands, South Africa, Tonga, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, and Vanuatu, or hold a C2 English certificate (CEFR) or equivalent if you are from Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, India, Luxembourg, Norway, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Sweden or Switzerland.
- Hold a university/college degree (e.g.: Bachelor’s, Master’s, NQF7, Associate’s, or equivalent) in any subject, or be enrolled, at least, in the second year of your university degree.
- Be aged up to 59 by the 1st of January 2026
- Have a clean background check.
- Speaking Spanish is NOT a requirement.
What Does a ConversaSpain Auxiliar de Conversación Do?
Tasks and teaching activities will vary from day to day, but it is a supportive role. Indeed, participants aren’t in charge of an entire class, nor are they responsible for students’ final grades or any serious disciplinary action. ConversaSpain is looking for dedicated ESL Auxiliares de Conversación.
Teach skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking across a variety of levels. Assistants may be given resources and/or a textbook but will need to generate their own activities, which include all aspects of language learning.
Incorporate elements from their own culture to engage students and create fun, informative classes. They can teach about traditions, stories, events and celebrations from their home country or from around the world.
Incorporate other subjects into their teaching. Subjects are not independent from one another. Sometimes it may be necessary or simply interesting to incorporate world history or music into a lesson.
Act as a role model for pronunciation and behave appropriately. Students will look up to their teachers, and participants are expected to represent both the program and their home country.
Support other teachers in their lessons. This ranges from exam assistance to sharing ideas; from assessing a student's needs to bringing new concepts to the curriculum. It may also include assisting teachers who might want to improve their English.
Take part in extracurricular school activities. In some schools, they organize day trips to the countryside, a museum or an event, and you’ll be welcome to join them if you like.
