Program Overview

Program Description:

AIDE Abroad's Teach Germany program offers an affordable way to experience German culture from a local perspective. Orientation: AIDE Abroad will send participants pre-departure orientation materials to help them prepare for their time in Germany, as well as provide suggestions on teaching ESL. We also recommend that participants research ESL teaching methods and lesson plans so that they are well-prepared upon their arrival. Network of Friends: Throughout their stays, participants will be provided with the name and email addresses of the other Language Assistants in the area. This offers participants a network of people they can ask for advice, socialize with, or travel around Germany with.

AIDE Abroad's Teach Germany program allows you to live with a German family and teach English or your native language in exchange for room and board!* Teach Germany provides you with the opportunity to gain experience teaching a foreign language while discovering Spanish culture. You will teach an average of 15 hours per week, Monday through Friday, providing lessons and conversation in your native language. The lessons may be more or less formal, depending upon the family. You will have weekends and the rest of the time free to sight see, learn about German culture, and make new friends! *Please note that although this program is not paid, you receive room and board in exchange for 15 hours of language training or coaching per week.
