A Guide to Teaching Abroad in Italy
Prepare for Teach Abroad
Set Goals
Most teachers set goals regularly, and it’s not a bad idea to do the same if you’re interested in creating goals for your time in Italy. Here are some ideas to help get you started.
- Consider learning, brushing up, or expanding your Italian vocabulary and language skills. It’s a great way to connect with your students, school, and the community you’ll be joining.
- Take note of a few specific Italian ways of working in the classroom — student relations, classroom structure, peer relationships — and spend intentional time emulating them in a way that works for you and your teaching style.
- Look for a way to connect with Italy outside of the classroom through hobbies or habits and get to know the culture, citizens, and way of life better.
Understand the Benefits
Committing to teaching abroad can serve you well! Here are some great perks of being an ESL teacher in Italy.
- Incredible food and wine. Do we need to say anything else? Wherever you land within the country, north, south, east, or west, you will not be able to escape a good glass of wine or an excellent meal.
- Professional and personal growth. Any professional experience abroad pushes you to problem-solve, think critically, and be creative in the everyday. Through those moments you become more resilient and aware, which inherently, will make you grow for the better.
- Work-life balance. There are no crazy hours involved and you’ll have plenty of time to explore the rest of Italy.
Things to Know
To succeed in Italy, it helps to understand a few key aspects:
- Basic: The average salary ranges from about $1,200 to $3,000 USD a month, varying based on placement. Teaching in Italy can require finding your own housing in local flats once you arrive. Teaching opportunities through homestay placements obviously provide accommodation in return for language lessons.
- Language: Always check if the program has any language requirements.Although you can get by without learning Italian, it’s a good idea to learn the basics.
- Visa requirements: Anyone interested in teaching in Italy first must secure a job and then apply for a visa. Requirements can vary greatly for visas and other documentation teachers will need. Check with your program, embassy, and even airline for all current details.
- Cultural etiquette: Greetings and social exchanges are generally casual. There are plenty of cultural and social expectations to look into but know that Italians dress intentionally daily! You won’t see them in athleisure or their comfort hoodie.
- Health and safety: Italy is a safe place to live, just be present while in different parts of the country (touristy areas).Look into current health and safety regulations for Italy travelers.
