TESOL Spain is best known for its fantastic regional and national conferences, which gather in the best English teachers and authors from around the world and Spain to give conferences on a variety of TEFL related subjects.
A TESOL conference in Spain is a reaffirmation of what it means to be a “professional English teacher;” whatever that is. And this means quite a lot to a lot of people, but not to everybody and not even to most.
The reality of the situation is that even as a beginning teacher you may well get to be the most experienced teacher on your second-rate academy’s staff by your second or third year there because of their MIA career prospects and consequent high turnover rate.
