Throughout the world, and especially in Spain, teaching younger learners (3-18) has become a key part of TEFL teachers' remit. We often find ourselves teaching more children than adults. At the end of any certificate course, while trainees should feel confident about teaching adults, the same might not be said for teaching younger learners. Both ex-trainees and employers have identified a need for further, more specific training in this area. We offer a short introductory course which gives you the skills you need to start teaching younger learners feeling well-prepared, confident and enthusiastic.

The course

The Teaching Younger Learners Extension Course (TYLE) covers key areas of methodology alongside practical applications and will leave you with an extensive range of ideas and activities to use in the classroom. You will end the course with the confidence you need to embark on your teaching career with younger learners. The course has been designed in close collaboration with a large number of employers and is targeted to give you exactly the skills they are looking for and that you need. The TYLE course takes place over three days, the week following the Certificate course. It involves four and a half hours per day of workshops, discussions and video observations.

The Weather

Andalucía enjoys one of the mildest climates in Europe with a year-round average temperature of 18-20ºC on the coast and an average of over 300 days of sunshine throughout the year. While temperatures soar inland, Cádiz remains temperate during the summer with maximum temperatures in July /August of 30ºC compared to Seville´s maximum 40ºC in July and August.

Visas/Work Permits:
EU citizens are not required to have a visa or work permit. Non EU citizens can stay up to 3 months as tourists. We can provide advice and information for those wishing to secure work and residence permits after course completion. EU citizens seeking work in Spain will not require a working visa. Non EU citizens can apply for a working visa once a job is secured, but this is a lengthy process and most work for cash in hand ( technically illegal, but common practice)

Health insurance
EU citizens are covered and do not need separate medical insurance for up to three months. US citizens will need to be insured. You have several options. First, check with any insurance policy you already have and see if they have an overseas provision, or rider that you can purchase. Your family might also have a general policy that provides this. There are also companies that specialize in overseas policies, for both short-term and longer stays. The rates are reasonable and the service might actually be better than an add-on to an existing policy. You can find these on the web under "overseas insurance" or "travelers insurance." We are told that Patriot is a popular company to use.

Citizens of other countries may need a visa to enter the country. Please consult your local Spanish consulate.
