Introduction

The language assistant program between Mexico and the UK is a working

program, which lasts a year, to teach Spanish abroad. One of the main

objectives is to spread Mexican culture, and share ideas and experiences

with British teachers. You are applying for this program and you are

really interested and motivated to get this opportunity. There is a

sequence of several interviews to finally know if you are accepted or

not, but you need to get prepared to do well during these interviews

because there is a lot of competence. One of the interviews is about how

much do you know about the country, its culture, its education, and why

do you want to be there for a year.
