How do I apply for a student visa to legally teach English in Europe?
For non-EU citizens who want to teach English in Europe it can be a frustrating experience when it comes to getting a work visa. Due to this frustration, many teachers decide to work with only their initial tourist visa in their passport. Although this is technically illegal, it is a widespread practice in some of the most popular destinations such as France, Italy and Spain, and it rarely causes any problems. However, if this approach does not appeal to you, a student visa might be the answer. By enrolling in a local language course, you get to learn French, Italian or Spanish, while also being free to legally work as an EFL teacher for a certain number of hours each week.

Can Americans teach English in Europe?
Yes, it is entirely feasible for Americans to teach English in Europe. Due to Europe's vast English-learning population, there is a significant demand for native English-speaking teachers that local EU resources cannot fully accommodate. As a result, numerous language schools actively seek Americans with TEFL qualifications. Annually, thousands of U.S. citizens secure teaching positions in key European cities, including Rome, Madrid, Berlin, Moscow, and Prague.

Should I get a TEFL or TESOL certification?
If you enroll on a TEFL or TESOL certification course with ITTT you get to decide which acronym you have printed on your certificate. Either TEFL or TESOL is fine as they are used interchangeably throughout much of the English language teaching world. However, if you have a clear plan as to where you want to work, it is worth doing a bit of research to see which of the two is more commonly used in your chosen destination. If most employers are asking for TEFL qualified teachers in their job adverts then it makes sense to go with that option, and vice versa if TESOL certificates are more common.

Can Americans teach English in Europe?
When researching your options for teaching English abroad, you may come across articles stating that it is difficult or even impossible for Americans to find work in Europe. However, the good news is this is simply not true, as there are plenty of great opportunities for American teachers in many countries throughout Europe. Due to the huge numbers of people learning English in Europe, there simply aren't enough teachers from within the EU to fill all the available positions. To meet this demand, language schools across the continent look towards native English speaking Americans who possess a TEFL qualification.

How long do TEFL contracts last?
Upon securing your TEFL certification and preparing for the next leg of your journey, understanding contract durations becomes crucial. Typically, TEFL contracts align with the academic calendar, often lasting for one academic year, which usually spans 10-12 months. While many institutions prefer this duration, some, especially summer camps or short-term programs, might offer shorter contracts. Thus, when signing a job contract, it is important to be aware of the commitment period.

How Will Brexit Affect TEFL Teachers?
In June 2016 the UK voted to leave the European Union and the "British exit" has since be referred to as "Brexit". Three years later there is still a lot of uncertainty surrounding possible repercussions, whether they end up positive or negative because the process is far from complete, detailed agreements are not finalized, and Brexit may even end up being canceled – even if only temporarily. People working in Europe as EFL teachers outside of their own country may feel unsure about their future, and those who are intending to work in European countries will be finding it difficult to plan, but what are the various outcomes that could occur over the next few months and years?

Europe attracts large numbers of people who are looking to teach English abroad, particularly from North America. However, it can be a daunting prospect for many as most employers expect to recruit their teachers locally rather than in advance from within their own countries. Unlike Asia and the Middle East, most foreign teachers working across Europe have to head to their country of choice and then start the job hunting process by visiting potential employers in person. If this approach doesn’t appeal to you, there are a few exceptions that you can explore.

My Experience of Learning a Second Language as an American
Second language acquisition in native English speakers from the United States is one aspect of American culture that is not widely discussed and seemingly overlooked in terms of its importance. Many factors contribute to the United States' largely monolingual culture despite have a "melting pot" of sorts with a population comprised of multiple ethnicities and nationalities. This culture of English speakers points to strong geographic features of its continental location and debatably its position in the world's economic index and political landscape.
