orientation

teach English in SpainAll participants take part in an orientation program in Seville that is conducted by local CIEE staff. During this period you will get to know the staff and understand the support network that is available to you throughout your time in Spain. CIEE can help you solve everyday problems while at school, work your way through cultural issues, or even provide travel advice for your weekend destinations. In case of emergency, CIEE is there to help.

Your new friends at CIEE are only part of the benefit-wait until you meet your fellow Language Culture Assistants-all embarking on similar adventures! During orientation relationships are forged, travel plans made, and visits promised. You will leave for your teaching placement with connections throughout Andalusia!

Orientation varies, depending on your program selection, but each day will be filled with new information that will help you to understand your assignment, teach more effectively, communicate better with Spaniards and more clearly understand the culture.
