Instead of just visiting, as a tourist, you will be living and working in Spain -- there is really no other way to truly learn the language and the culture.
If you are curious and adventurous then pack your bags. Short-term work abroad Internships focus on preparing students for working in an international environment either in the language training field (ESL and EFL) or in the field of their area of study: General Education, Business Administration, International Relations, Marketing, Economics, Political Science...
Complementing the work experience, all interns participate in a training program focused on developing an excellent competitive edge in the job market for those who aspire to working in an international environment in general.
Living in Spain will give you international exposure on your resume, Spanish language and that extra edge for landing the job you seek and desire when the moment arrives.
ESL and EFL Interns receive group training sessions on education for adult learners. The program covers areas such as level testing, methodology, progress assessment, material development, distance learning, and new technologies applied to language education.
