OUR town

Serón is a charming village located within the province of Almeria, Andalucia in southern Spain. It is positioned between the mountains of Sierra Filabres and the Mediterranean sea. There is a population of ~2,000 people. Serón is famous for its production of cured ham (jamon serrano) and goat cheese, and it even hosts the Feria de Jamon every June. You can visit www.turismoseron.es . To pass time outside of the school, there are dancing, kick-boxing, cooking, and spanish classes, a rail trail “Via Verde,” hiking trails www.alltrails.com, a fully equipped gym with a range of exercise classes offered, 6 authentic spanish restaurants, and a history museum. Serón is also a bus ride away from the prominent cities of Almeria and Granada.

Transportation

By bus: www.alsa.es www.omio.es -To Granada:1,5 hours (daily) -To Almería: 2-3 times a week. By taxi: There is a private taxi you can use to go to/from Almería. (30€).Tlf:+34 629 46 95 89 From Serón: 6AM From Almería: 2PM By BlaBlaCar: www.blablarcar.es This a well-known ride-share application where you can split the cost of gas and travel with people already going to your destination. Prices vary depending on locations but average €5-30 Car-pooling: Some teachers living in neighboring towns are available to car-pool. Ask around at the school. Others occasionally travel to Almeria for the weekend.

accommodation

• There are some houses available to rent (not many). You can contact these people to schedule a viewing:

Sometimes there are teachers that rent houses or that want to share a room. It's better to ask Fran (coordinator of the school) first. You can also try these websites:

recommendations

• We recommend you rent a house in Serón. There is no daily public transport from bigger towns to Serón. Living in Seron is cheap, and you can safe money to travel at the weekends.

• It's very important to get in touch with other Auxiliares de Conversación living in nearby cities or towns. You can use the Auxiliares Facebook group or other Social Networks.

• It would also be very useful if you got in touch with other Auxiliares we have had previous years. Don't be shy to ask them whatever you need.

• At the beginning it could be tough to live in a small town like Serón, but don't worry, there are young people and many cities to visit at the weekends.

• The Auxiliares salary is not high, all Auxiliares we've had made some extra money teaching English in the afternoon. We can help you contact students.

Teaching goals

• To be responsible, punctual and respecful with students...
• To provide an example for the students and teachers of an English accent.
• To help to develop speaking skills in English: pronunciation, intonation...
• To collaborate with the teachers to prepare school materials. Always with the support of a teacher.
• To try to show Spanish teachers and students your culture, traditions...
• To get involved in the daily life of the school.
• Be patient with the english skills of the students: speak clearly, slowly, using formal words...
• To use English as much a possible, also with teachers. Even though you can speak Spanish,

students should never realize that. That is the only way to push them to speak in English.

• Spanish teachers of English have to be open-minded, and you also have to teach us to improve our English.
