How to teach English in Spain | Auxiliares de Conversacion NALCAP
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 сер 2024
- In this video, I share my experience after three months in Mallorca as an English teaching assistant/auxiliar as part of Spain's NALCAP program, also known as auxiliares de conversacion. It has one of the best decisions I've ever made and I can't recommend the program enough.

You're welcome! Glad it could help.

Thank you Malleny - good luck!
This is one of my goals. I'm in school now. I hope to apply in November of next year
Good luck Tré!
@@jaredkaufman Thank you. I know the road is long to get there but I now have a new goal.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
I got my placement in the islas. Nervous and excited. I'd love to get Mallorca.
congratulations and good luck!!
Thank you!!
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful
Great camera quality. Lighting is subtle as well. Just natural light?
Thanks y'all! Yup all natural light. Not interested in buying or setting up studio type lighting now - maybe at some point but I'm loving the flexibility of natural light
Very well spoken! Thank you. I'm interested in applying to this program in January but was wondering if you get any assistance with the visa process, housing placement, etc?
Thank you! There is a Facebook group for auxiliares that it very useful but no official assistance
i found this video extremely helpful thank you very much, can non native teachers (with a bachelor's degree in English and a TEFL degree) join this program?
Thank you! One of the requirements is native-level proficiency - so I'm not sure if a bachelor's and TEFL would be enough but I'm not positive
I would love if you could elaborate on "is it for you"...item #2. Thanks!
Sure - anything in particular you are curious about? I would say if you work well with others, are curious about Spanish culture, enjoy working with kids, are comfortable in front of groups, and handle ambiguity well - you will have an amazing time. But also the program is not a very material commitment, so you don’t have to check every single box
Hi Jared ,abdulla this side by the grace of God i got selected in this program ,but now i am afraid how and what to teach to the students can u plz let me know what subjects i have to teach
Hi! I'm thinking about having Isla Baleares as my first choice. How was the cost of living? Was it difficult to find a place to live?
I didn’t choose Mallorca because I wasn’t sure I’d be able to discover the outdoors there. Can you talk about how you were able to get around to go on hikes?
The local TIB bus lines are very convenient for getting around the island for hikes
Question: given the short work week, is it possible to find other sources of income like working at a cafe or doing online tutoring, or is this not allowed??
Very common and allowed! A lot of people do in person English tutoring as well
How are you adjusting as a male as a teaching asdDo you see other guys that are auxiliaries?
I didn't meet a lot of other auxiliars but there were a lot of male teachers that I worked with! I would say the mix was pretty close to 50/50 - so plenty of representation
Are the other programs in Spain for non US citizens to teach in their country
Hi Bassiie - yes there are - at this link you can see the countries that have programs www.educacionyfp.gob.es/mc/accion-exterior/mira-lo-que-hacemos/centros-programas/auxiliares-extranjeros-22-23.html -
Hi there!
Thanks a lot for sharing all that stuff
I'm a Moroccan teacher of English.
I've been teaching English at state school for 6 years now . Grades ( 10th, 11th,12th)
I'm thinking about moving to Spain.
So please,
How can I teach there, I mean the requirements?
Are my BA in English at state univ. and experience of teaching enough for me to teach there?
Thanks a bunch in advance
Hi there! Unfortunately you wouldn't qualify for this program specifically - but I do know that there is a pretty high demand for english teachers.
If you speak Spanish and are a trained teacher, I would recommend looking into the requirements for official english teaching jobs - it's possible that there are opportunities - I just am not familiar with them
Question!
Do you need a Bachelors Degree or do they accept people with Associates?
Looks like associates is good!
@@jaredkaufman Thank you. I'm excited now.
How much of your free time do you spend preparing presentstions?
I was teaching 12 hours but with my schedule probably spending more like 15-16 hours at the school. I was able to do all of my prep work in those 3-4 hours - and often more quickly
Will a TEFL or CELTA make a difference?
A TEFL isn't required for the NALCAP program, but some of the other teaching assistant programs in Spain are starting to require them. It's still a good idea to get one so you are more confident in the classroom.
Hello someone that I know it was telling me about a program where Americans can teach English in Spain but instead of teaching students they are teaching other teachers. Do you know anything about this program have you ever heard of it?
Hi Monique, I haven't heard specifically of this program but I know with NALCAP you can be placed with adults. Teaching other teachers is not something I'm familiar with though
How do taxes work for the program?? Do we pay taxes there or will we pay American taxes?
You pay american taxes - because the payments from the program are low, the taxes that you pay are not very significant
Do you have to be a teacher for this?
I found your video because I want to apply for the NALCAP 2023 cycle! Did you study Spanish/international studies in school? I only minored in international studies (major political science) and I’m worried it will put me at a disadvantage.
Nope! I majored in Business and minor in Music - so literally nothing related to this haha.
The application process is literally just first-come-first-served. If you meet the basic requirements you will be 100% accepted if you apply early enough. Good luck!
With that said - you will have a richer experience if you have some Spanish language experience (though not required)
Is this program only eligible for american people
This specific program is for North America but if you are a native English speaker there are other programs you can apply
Is there an age requirement?
I believe so - I would check the nalcap website to be sure
Is there a rodent problem is Spain 🇪🇸? I cannot live somewhere with a pest control problem
no
Living in the US and thinking that 700 is enough to live it’s insane to me
I hear you. Cost of living is just much much different. Also with all of healthcare covered and good public transit you have fewer things that could create unexpected costs
