University partnerships · postgraduate ELE placements
Real teaching experience inside a Spanish academy in Ireland.
Hablo Español works with several Spanish universities and welcomes postgraduate students completing teaching placements or work experience as part of Master’s programmes in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE).
How it works
A bridge between university training and day-to-day teaching.
Placements are organised in coordination with the relevant university and according to the objectives, duration and practical requirements of the postgraduate programme.
University agreement
We coordinate with the university so the placement has a clear academic and professional framework.
Real academy context
Postgraduate students experience the rhythms, planning and learner needs of an active Spanish-language academy in Ireland.
Teaching development
The placement connects observation, lesson preparation, classroom practice and professional reflection.
What students can experience
More than watching a class.
The exact placement depends on the agreement and current academy activity, but the goal is to expose future ELE teachers to authentic teaching decisions and professional routines.
Why Hablo Español
An academy, a teacher-development environment and a technology lab.
Our placement environment is connected to the same real teaching activity that shapes Teacher Academy, Teeqo Teacher Studio and the wider SpanishLab ecosystem.
Real learners
Experience teaching needs across adults, children and education settings.
Teacher tools
See how digital resources and classroom technology can support rather than replace the teacher.
Ireland context
Gain professional exposure in an international English-speaking environment where Spanish teaching has its own local demands.
