Interlang Executive Centre in Madrid, Spain.

Interlang is one of the best established in-company language schools in Madrid offering both business and general language courses to adult professionals in English, French, German, Spanish and Portuguese. The main language taught is English.

We insist that all our teaching candidates do a teaching practical test as part of the interview procedure as we only take on teachers who we feel will be able to perform satisfactorily in our classes.

  

Unlike some language schools we do not have our own particular method so teachers have a lot of freedom to use a wide variety of teaching techniques in the language learning environment. Teachers are paid by cheque on the first working day of the month. We keep a database of all teachers who apply to us for future reference. Though most hiring takes place between June, July, September and October, we have a constant need for good teachers so are recruiting all year round.
