Dear student teachers, etc.,

My girlfriend and I both study English for teaching. During the semester break we decided to go to English-speaking foreign countries for 12 weeks to complete the obligatory semester abroad.

Unfortunately, the whole planning was a bit short-term, because at the beginning of the semester, the times for the exams were not fixed yet. Normally long-term internships can be planned through the academic exchange service, so this was out of the question for us.

We did not try to get an internship via the faculty or the degree program or study course committee. That was a mistake!

We both asked each other at GLS - Dublin, Ireland - after we had not been allocated any space at our own request to schools in the UK. The time was relatively tight and we decided to use the services of GLS for 805 each. That is 1610 for a time of about 1-2 hours, which it cost the GLS to give us an internship. The desire to get a place at a school in the west of Dublin became a bureaucratic process that was unsuccessful.

So if you want to do a school internship abroad, ask about opportunities at your university and with fellow students from the different grades, who may be able to help you.

You save a lot of money.
