The benefits of working as a language assistant

If you could spend one year abroad teaching Spanish, where would you like to work?
Why?
Have you gone through a similar experience or did you go through some kind of work experience stint in your field?
If so, what professional and personal skills did you gain?

English Language Assistants from the UK got together at British Council's headquarters in London in a meeting to discuss their experiences on their return and promote language assitanceship among British university students?

Self-study activity:
Watch the video and enjoy this young crowd's energy, optimism and vitality. These are the questions they will be answering:

What’s the best place to do a language assitanceship?
What’s the reason for your recommendation?
How would you describe your experience?
What professional and personal skills did you gain?
