This is a practical guide filled with useful information and
valuable
advice on finding employers, obtaining a work visa, dealing with
students, and the common pitfalls to avoid. For example, the book
reveals that teaching abroad is a field inundated by scam artists
selling unnecessary certificate courses promoted by bogus want ads
for teachers! This book includes real job openings, and updates
are
available at the author's web site. Some people romanticize Italy
as "the
California of Europe," but this is the only book on the subject I
know of
offering information that's accurate, balanced and complete.

This little book offers numerous resources
and specific instructions on how to find work teaching English in
Italy. For example, the book lists Italian government web sites
announcing job openings that would be difficult to find on
English search engines.
The author also deserves
credit for revealing that some unscrupulous diploma mills are
peddling short courses of questionable value that claim to "certify"
teachers, even though such "certification" isn't recognized by
the Italian government or school administrators in Italy.
This
book is also well-written and clearly printed with large type
and 1 1/2 line spacing for easy reading. Highly recommended!
