Can I teach English in the TEFL program just during the summer?We Answered:
Yes and no. Most countries will ask you to sign a six month to a year contract. The exception to this is Summer Camps. There are a lot of camps throughout eastern and western Europe that look for native English speakers. They will hire you for 6-8 weeks to 3 months. Just google esl summer camps and you will find tons of listings.To get a teaching job (not in a summer camp) in any of those countries you listed you will need a TEFL certificate, a BA, and be a native speaker. If you do not have a TEFL Certificate I highly reccoment the 4 week course I did in Prague. I learned a lot and felt really prepared to teach anywhere and to teach grammar! Something that I never knew to much about to begin with!
Good luck and I hope this helped a litte. :)

How is TESL in Italy?We Answered:
Well - I'm talking by general means - Italian students are not that good in English. You will probably find a few that can communicate with you almost fluently, but for the most they will have knowledge of a basic english.As the guy up here told you, we study English at school for most of our school-life, but that doesn't mean it's taught us in a good way. We mainly know some grammar and simple sentences to communicate simple thoughts. The pronunciation will probably be really bad, 'cause in schools we don't get many opportunities to speak with a native. And you know, kids get shy in such situations.
Ad for behaviour, they'll probably be willing to learn, as everyone is (I hope) getting into the idea that fluent English is something else and it's needed in modern society.
Anyhow, better if you memorize some italian phrases?
Students will help with translations of words and even with manners and stuff (you can always communicate with signs!) - you should just try to speak clearly and slowly, repeating pronunciation so they can improve it.
I actually learnt my english abroad, and I now see what's the problem at school =)
Hope this helps and that you actually will come and have a wonderful experience.
Ciao!

Has anyone ever taught english in Italy?We Answered:
Depend on your qualifications. If you only got a T.E.F.L certificate and no degree you won't get more, because you lack having a degreeErin Said:
HI, I'm from Italy, this summer I wanna spend my time for an holiday in London for study english...?We Answered:
Your English is fine compared to many's italiano.listen to english radio perhaps
www.lbc.co.uk or the bbc world service
it might help..
as for London , the usual west end places ARE very expensive and a rip off..
you can visit the tate / tate modern gallery
portabello road
the west end
Kensington
the London eye + aquarium
although get yourself an Oyster card, without it travel in London is DOUBLE . it's a pre-pay travel card.. it will cost you £3 BUT you can give it to someone else that maybe visiting or get your money back .

I am an American looking to teach English in Italy. I have double citizenship, can I teach in any school? Thx?We Answered:
Actually, you have a much better chance at teaching in public schools than, say someone who isn't an EU citizen. I agree with the most recent answer, your contacts should be your best resource.I have been teaching English in Italy for almost 6 years now, and I can say that it is actually a VERY GOOD time for you to get started (even if it would better if you had a little experience). If you don't have experience, maybe a summer camp would be a good way to get it. Then, when public school (or private, if you wish - but not recommended) jobs open up in September, you will be more qualified for them. I would also suggest a TEFL (teaching english as a foreign language) certificate if you don't already have one.
Where is your family in Italy? Are they in Campania? It would be great, because that is where the $$ jobs are right now.
Good Luck!

How can I go to Italy this summer?We Answered:
First, this depends heavily on where you come from. If you're from the US or other places outside the EU, it is illegal for you to work here without a visa that permits it. You can come here for tourism for up to 90 days without a visa, but you can't work here.If you're coming from Canada, then there is the possibility of a working holiday visa if you plan to be here more than 90 days. This is not available to citizens of the US because the US does not have a recriprocal arrangement.
Visa information is available at this site including application forms and addresses of the consulates in your country where you can apply: http://www.esteri.it/visti/home_eng.asp
The best way to connect with a family may be to go through an agency that specializes in au pair placements. However, you would be expected to be working most of the time. Many cities, including the small one where I live, have language schools which often employ young people for short terms (several months). However, the English language instructors will usually be from the UK since they don't require work visas and there's much less paperwork involved in hiring them.
