So you want to teach English in Italy?

Jan. 9, 2010 - PRLog -- There are countless reasons why traveling, working, studying, interning, or teaching in Italy would make for an amazing experience.  Italy is known for its rich history, cutting-edge fashion, delicious food, world-famous art, and welcoming culture.  So why should you want to teach English in Italy?

Here’s an example of someone I know who loved teaching in another country: a good friend of mine spent a summer abroad teaching English in Thailand.  Although it only lasted three months, she absolutely loved it so much that a year later she decided to take a job in South Korea teaching English.  Her experience giving English lessons gave her the satisfaction of seeing her students progress each day, and their eagerness to learn every time they walked in the classroom.

Native English speakers are needed more and more as English is used increasingly worldwide, leading to a bigger need for teachers abroad.  Becoming an ESL teacher in Italy will also provide you with the ability to hone your communication skills, making you a better communicator in general; another skill that looks great to employers when you’re on the hunt for a job.

So imagine yourself making a difference by helping others learn a language that you already know, while enjoying all the wonderful things Italy has to offer.  Imagine walking through the streets of Rome or Milan, watching scooters zip past you and people sipping tiny cups of espresso street cafés.  Imagine being able to roam the same streets as Julius Caesar, Leonardo da Vinci, and Christopher Columbus.

The beauty of Italy is only a plane ride away, and so is the opportunity to make an important difference in the lives of others by teaching abroad.  Take a look at www.linktodiversity.com to help you get started teaching in Italy.
