TEACHING /TRAINING ASSIGNMENTS ABROAD ( PORTUGAL, TURKEY, SPAIN)LONG-TERM BENEFITS TO THIS ACTIVITY FOR STAFF ( CONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT)It’s an experience full of insights and personal development that can be transferred to any career setting.A period spent teaching abroad can demonstrate to any employer that you excel in the following key areas:AdaptabilitySucceeding in a role in a foreign country is impressive and adds diversity to your employment history. Working in an organisation abroad often calls upon all your problem solving resources and requires using your initiative on a daily basis. An ability to deal with the unexpected in a calm and controlled manner is a desirable quality for any employer.CommunicationCommunication skills as essential. There’s hardly a better way to show effective communication than than an ability to stand in front of a classroom and teach people who don’t speak the same language as you! Cultural awarenessHaving an understanding of different cultures is ever more important, both in the organisation and when working in global business. Showing sensitivity to cultural differences, whether you’re dealing with clients, customers or colleagues, will get you far. LeadershipA great teacher is also a great leader. Managing a class of 20 pupils is no easy task. Being able to capture your students’ attention and imagination – and maintain it – is an achievement in itself. The role of a teacher is largely to inspire and motivate students to respond to challenges and reach their goals. Foreign language skillsThe most effective way to learn a new language is to immerse yourself in it. The best incentive to do this is to live and work in a country where English is barely spoken, as you’ll have no choice other than to pick up the local lingo. Even if you’ve struggled with learning languages before, this approach works.
