I’m planning on doing the same type of thing in Greece. I’m not sure if you need to take the tefl, at least i don’t think so in greece and i know there are plenty of jobs available there. A good bet would be to do a yahoo search for teaching english in rome. It helped me with greece alot. What i do know is that teachers are highly respected in Europe and i don’t think finding a job would be too difficult. Sorry i don’t know more than that.

There’s a TEFL course in Rome? Wow. I’ll be taking Italian at school before going to Europe, so that might be better than the one I’ve found in Prague. Do you have a link or anything?

By the way, does anyone know how good this one is? http://www.teflworld…

Hi-
Actually I’ve heard of the program in Prague. It’s quite well known. But I’d rather take the class in Italy, so I searched on the www.goabroad.com website and found links to schools in Italy. This is the program/school I’ve signed up with: http://www.teflintl….
So, after you study Italian, you’re thinking of learning to teach English? Is that the scoop?
Let me know how you make out.

Cheers,
Maria
