CANTERBURY INTERNATIONAL TEFL COURSE - June, 2011 Madrid/Leon

Canterbury will be offering for the fourth consecutive year a special TEFL course in June, beginning on 30th May 2011.

At the end of Week 1, Canterbury will be holding a Summer Job Placement Open House at our Madrid installations with our summer camp providers: Forenex, Ideotur, and Baker Street , among others, with which we place our TEFL graduates every year.

Students will be working during the summer in camps ranging from onsite summer camps throughout Spain and day camps in Madrid , to teaching regular classes to business professionals and individuals in Madrid . The average salary for onsite summer camp teaching is 1,100€ a month including room and board. Key periods are the month of July and the first two weeks of August.

Some of the additional topics to be covered during Weeks 3 and 4 are as follows:

• Age Group Characteristics, Behavior/Personality Types, Cultural Differences
