A Guide to Education Internships Abroad
Why Intern Abroad
Internships abroad can give you direct experience in the classroom in a way that studying and reading cannot. Being part of a classroom in another country will boost your confidence and provide you with new situations to help you craft your teaching style. You’ll learn a different perspective on education from working with local teachers and administrators who were trained in an alternative format to, which will give you flexibility and openness to multiple points of view when you are in a full-time position back home.
If you are interested in improving your foreign language skills as well, education internships abroad in non-English speaking countries could give you specific experience and abilities in your target language.
Completing an internship abroad in education sets you ahead of other potential candidates for education jobs in your home country, and more importantly globally. Depending on your career goals and previous experience, education internships may be a good way to learn more about a specific role within education before committing to a focus area. Many education internships abroad are related to English language education, since the demand is high throughout the world. So internships are the perfect opportunity to test drive teaching English before committing to a full year contract. Beyond English language classrooms, you can also intern in a specific subject area, such as science or math and even sports or music, and see how you feel about that setting as well.
