Teach In Spain Immersion + 4 Weeks Of Spanish

Whether you’re a beginning Spanish learner or an advanced speaker, immerse yourself in Spanish culture by spending four weeks with a local host family and taking Spanish classes before you start your teaching placement as a Language and Culture Assistant in the region of Madrid.

Benefits of the Teach in Spain Immersion program include:

• Boosting your Spanish skills with four weeks of intensive Spanish classes that focus on practical conversations you will use during your year in Spain. Classes meet three hours each day (Monday - Friday) and are taught entirely in Spanish for a fully immersive experience.
• Participating in language exchange sessions with Spaniards.
• Experiencing life as a local while living with a Spanish host family who you can practice speaking Spanish with.  Each family is unique - ranging from single host mothers to families with children - and will give you perspective into Spain’s diverse society.
• Classes and host families are located in the city, giving you the opportunity to find permanent housing while living with your host family. You will also arrive in August, ahead of the busiest time for apartment hunting in Madrid.

In early October you will start your position as a Language and Culture Assistant, helping Spanish students develop their listening and conversational English skills.  Most teachers spend 16 hours a week in the classroom and usually have three-day weekends with Monday or Friday off.  With your monthly 1,000 Euro stipend and long weekends, you can enjoy Spain’s cultural and historic treasures.

About Our Program Fees

CIEE, a non-profit organization, has been sending university graduates abroad to teach English since 1997. Our Immersion program in Spain includes orientation on arrival, an initial homestay, Spanish classes, and a high level of support throughout your experience (see all features below).

To cover those costs, there is a program fee of $4,100. Once we accept your application, you’ll make a first payment of $500 to reserve your spot ($1,000 for programs with TEFL). The remaining balance of the program fee is due a few months later when you receive a teaching placement at a Spanish school. CIEE alumni receive a 10% discount!
