This was a PM, but then I thought others might use this info (or others might correct any of my info), so...
I have no web links, sorry. But one good site for finding European jobs is www.tefl.com. A good book to buy (with extremely detailed information about each country's, and I mean every country's, ESL/EFL situation) is,

The book
I used the 6th edition, and while I actually found my job here on Dave's, I thought it was really interesting if nothing else.
Do you have an EU passport? If you don't, I wouldn't suggest worrying too much about Europe except the Eastern European block. I looked into it heavily (I am Canadian) until I was able to get British citizenship about 2 years ago, so I stopped as I no longer needed to. My best friend (CELTA, BEd and 2 years in an American public school) has been trying to get into Italy forever. She has not succeeded and has given up (basically).
Be careful with Spain (and Italy or Portugal, France and Germany are a bit different). There are a lot of people there with no credentials whatsoever, and only a high school diploma (maybe). Therefore the industry there can be very sketchy, but there are a lot of good schools too. Just understand that many places take the easiest route to a teacher and the cheapest teacher they can find (usually a Brit right out of highschool on a one year break). It will seem the salaries are really low in Spain, but good schools can be found. Usually, for most of Europe, you have to find the good jobs though. |
