Nowadays, an increasing number of postgraduate studies in language
and literature teaching are considering the possibility of moving abroad to teach
their mother tongue or their first foreign language. For this purpose, the
programs organized by governmental bodies in the field of culture and education
serve as an incentive and economic stimulus. In fact, in the case of Spain, the
Ministry of Education and Vocational Training offered 815 places in the call for
Spanish language assistants abroad for the academic year 2020-2021. The
network of countries participating in this program included Germany, Australia,
Austria, Belgium, Canada, United States, Russia, France, Ireland, Italy, Norway,
New Zealand, United Kingdom, Sweden and Switzerland.
