TEFL jobs in the Czech Republic
Recruitment for these positions is currently on hold - new applications can be made from January 2012 onwards.
Prague and the Czech Republic are renowned haunts of TEFL teachers from all over the Anglophonic world. Many teachers dream of going to Prague - a city with architecture and history a thousand years old, associated with the significant personalities and history of the Czech state. Prague's beauty has amazed its visitors since the Middle Ages. Prague is a magical, golden city of cobbled streets and a hundred spires, but, most importantly, a city that is always awe-inspiring and original. However, outside Prague, the rest of the country is a delight also with some wonderful teaching opportunities.
