I am looking to travel to a Spanish speaking country where I can either teach English or science. I am looking for specific websites or links to find more information.

I would like to make a difference while improving my language skills in the process.

Thanks for your help!!! grin

I applied for this a few weeks ago http://www.educacion.gob.es/aux1/eeuu/convocatorias-programas/convocatorias-eeuu/auxiliares-conversacion-eeuu.html

It's for people who are not qualified to teach (they assist teachers) so I don't know if it is what you are looking for.

And there's this program in Madrid http://www.ecmadrid.org/Beda/Auxiliares de conversacion/iwant.html

Charlius,

I picked Catalunya, Castilla y León, and La Rioja. Where were you placed and how was your experience?

Haha, that program you applied for is the same exact one I did! I think you should be able to get it, I don't think the requirements were that high and I got in. What region/autonomous community did you put as your preference?

By free do you mean no fees at all or it's ok if there is an application fee but you don't pay for the entire program (without earning any money)?
I have looked into other programs that have an application fee but you are given a stipend while you teach. Then there are programs where you pay thousands of dollars to live and teach abroad but you don't receive any compensation.
