CIEE TEFL prepared me to teach in Spain!

I took CIEE's TEFL class because I was planning to teach English in Spain through their program. I had no formal teaching or education background, and this course helped me feel much more comfortable coming into a teaching setting.
I felt that the weekly tutorials with a tutor and classmates were interesting and helpful. Discussing ideas with other fellow TEFL students allowed me to think of things I otherwise wouldn't have come up with. The information each week was, for the most part, quite helpful as well. In particular, I enjoyed the brief history of the English language, as it has been useful in explaining the differences between various English words and their roots. I have also been very grateful for the many activity ideas provided throughout the modules and have used many in my classroom already this year.
