I studied abroad at this exact school. I obtained my minor in Spanish and a Bachelors in business. I am graduating in May and I am thinking about trying to teach English somewhere like Costa Rica. I am pretty well fluent in Spanish and I have been to Costa Rica a few times. Any thoughts or tips?
Hi! Do you already know how to speak in Spanish when you started your Masters? I'm considering taking a Global Higher Educ program that has Spanish courses but I am close to zero Spanish 😅 Also, were you given TOR or just diploma? Thanks!
Yes I did because I chose the Bilingual Education master’s. Half the classes were in Spanish and half in English. We got transcripts as well as the diploma.
Can you elaborate on which countries this MA is useful to get higher paying jobs and what countries are not? And if I choose option A in my application and for some reason they run out of spaces will I just get denied or will be place in option B ?
I recommend contacting Instituto Franklin directly. They have a list of alumni who have been able to use the degree to teach in other countries. I’m not sure about the answer to your second question, so I recommend asking that as well.
can you do a masters and a normal language assistant program like the auxiliares? i am really interested in a program at the UAB and figured continuing the program would be great to pay my way,
The problem is the schedule. You will often have Master's classes at the same time as your Aux teaching assignment. This is why the Instituto Franklin program is unique because they schedule the Master's classes around your teaching schedule. In fact, one of the options is to work in the gov Aux program while doing the Master's - but is only available for the Madrid region.
Hello! Thank you for the breadth of information you share. It is lovely! I wondered how you got to the university? Did you walk, or take a metro or train? Which Masters did you do? I think I might be able to do the one that is in all English because I'm re-learning Spanish and am not at a high level yet.
Hi Olivia! I lived in Madrid because my school was located in Madrid. I took the light rail train (called Cercanias) to Alcala de Henares where the university is located for the master's classes. Students are placed all over the Madrid region, so some people were placed in schools near the university while others were placed in Madrid or even 2 hours away! It's luck of the draw. I did the bilingual master's degree so we had classes in both English and Spanish. I had a degree in Spanish from my university before taking part in this program.
@@ESLTeacher365 Thank you so much for getting back to me! Good for you! It seems like you had a good bearing of Spanish before going. I appreciate your answers!
Could be. Each language assistant will work with different co-teachers and they will have different tasks for you. You may find that you are more of the main teacher, planning and teaching everything, or that you are pulling out small groups of students for practice. There are no standards, so it can be anything.
Wow! Thanks for the prompt response. :) I'm quite torn with Options A and B. In your opinion, which one would benefit a person who doesn't have much savings to go to Spain? I think Option B offers more time and freedom, however, the money that I should prepare for it might too challenging. :)
Exactly before you post your videos make sure you don't misguide people which you did.not only native but near to native speakers are as well eligible how can you miss such an important point. It's so grotesque
I have used the language provided on the requirements page of the official website for Instituto Franklin. If you have an issue with the wording, I suggest you contact the program itself. institutofranklin.net/en/academics/teach-learn/application-requirements-and-deadlines

Costa Rica is an amazing place to teach. I loved my time there. Fill out this survey and I’ll see how I can best help! Http://bit.ly/ESLTeacherSurvey
Costa Rica is challenging to work in legally unless you teach at international schools.

@@oliviakotsaybeard2486 Yes, I studied Spanish in university to be a Spanish teacher.
Hola! May I know if being a language assistant requires you to check students' work like essay? or is it the main teacher's role? Thanks! :)

I recommend going to the official website as they update the different payment options each year.@@theclaireeffect
Thanks for your reply,@@ESLTeacher365 .
I would love that! Best of luck to you and keep me posted.@@theclaireeffect
How did you get to stay at your school a second year?
I was placed at an UCETAM school. UCETAM allows you to renew for a second year. There are a few programs in Spain where you can apply to renew.
Thanks I’ll tell my son that he jus got accepted to the program
Hi I have one more question, do you need your documents translated?
We were given the option to renew.

@@ESLTeacher365 I am sorry. is knowing Spanish one of the criteria before applying
A minimum level of intermediate Spanish is recommended. Some programs recommend an advanced level.
