Spanish as a Foreign Language Teacher Training Courses: new ways into the job market
Over the last few years, the numbers of people who decide to go abroad have increased exponentially. These people are motivated by the opportunity to live an exciting experience, but also by the new job opportunities that such a decision opens up to them; primarily, the opportunity to teach Spanish as a Foreign Language in their host country.
Although being a native speaker will undoubtedly be a huge advantage, prospective language teachers must be aware that these positions are highly sought after by increasing numbers of qualified professionals. Consequently, obtaining a teaching post without careful preparation is highly difficult. For this reason, many institutions and language schools (primarily, the Instituto Cervantes)now offer specific Spanish as a Foreign Language teacher training courses.
The courses come in all shapes and sizes, but their purpose is the same: to help native speakers to look at their own language from a teacher’s perspective and to give them the fundamental educational tools required to teach it
