7 Reasons to Become an Intern in Poland

Poland isn't just about its cabbage stew and countless castles – oh no! There are loads of cosmopolitan cities and amazing countryside, so if you're looking to start your TEFL adventure teaching in Europe, Poland could be perfect!

i-to-i has teamed up with the Speed School of English, to offer the Teach in Poland Internship giving you five months of fantastic teaching in Southern Poland, filled with loads of support and all the training.

Are you tempted yet? Well here are seven reasons why you should join the Poland Internship:

1- Support, support, support!

The beauty of an internship is everything is organised for you, unlike finding your own TEFL job. Once you touch down in Poland everything is already set up for you, so you don't have to worry about a thing. You will also have 24/7 support from our reputable partners, Speed School of English.

2- Teacher development program

You will be able to use all the skills you gained on your TEFL course in your classroom, but you will also be able to develop these skills further as you will be part in in-house training sessions and workshops plus, some of your lessons will be videotaped so you can get feedback and become an even better teacher!

3- Time to hit the slopes

A great perk of the internship is that you get a skiing pass for three days – which is a great way to spend your free time and enjoy the beautiful scenery that Poland has!

4- 10-day orientation

On the teach in Poland internship, you're not going to be just thrown into the deep end. As soon as you arrive in Poland you have a 10-day orientation which is run by Speed School of English, this will give you all the information you need to live and teach in Poland. You'll also get in-depth workshops and practice sessions to make sure you're ready to teach your first TEFL class! Plus, you'll have a chance to visit the historic city of Krakow, the Wieliczka Salt Mines and Auschwitz.

5- New friends, new experience, new you!

The experience is most likely going to be something completely new to you so what better way to make some new friends! Throughout the duration of the internship you will be surrounded by other interns and live with other teachers giving you the chance to make some friends for life! Not to mention all the locals who'll be keen to welcome you to Poland (and practise their English!)

6- Generous spending allowance

As your accommodation is taken care of for you, so all of your monthly living allowance can be spent on you! You'll receive a monthly allowance of 1500 Polish Zlotys (PLN) per month, and receive a 1000 PLN bonus from your school at the end of your internship. The cost of living in Poland is a lot lower than in other Western countries: a pint of beer, for example, costs as little as 4PLN which is about 87p!

7- Beef up your CV/Resume

Let's face it, an experience like this is going to make your CV stand out from the crowd and give you valuable skills, even if you don't want to make a career out of teaching. You will develop great presentation and communication skills, cope with challenging situations, build your interpersonal skills and boost your confidence. All great skills, no matter what your future has in store!

Poland's Return to Capitalism $89 As the largest and most strategically important country in Central-Eastern Europe, Poland's transformation from socialism to capitalism has brought with it immense political changes. Poland was the first Eastern European country to return to capitalism, with its shock-therapy economic reforms replicated throughout the region. Here, Gavin Rae analyses the changes to the country since 1989 in their historical and geo-political framework. He looks at both how the absorption of Poland into the international capitalist system has transformed the country and how this process is contributing to developments globally. This book considers the importance of the development of European Union expansion and at its expected results within Poland and an enlarged EU.

The Deluge: An Historical Novel of Poland, Sweden and Russia Vol. 1 $23.32 Henryk Adam Aleksander Pius Sienkiewicz (1846-1916) was a Polish journalist and Nobel Prize-winning novelist. In Poland, he is best known for his historical novels "With Fire and Sword," "The Deluge," and the "Fire in the Steppe" trilogy.

Poland in the Twentieth Century $105 Comprising mostly original essays, this book offers challenging reassessments of some of the most important and controversial themes in Polish history from 1900 until the present. In analysing Poland's triumphs and tribulations with an informed and searching eye, the author achieves a high level of intellectual coherence and nuanced historical perspectives. The overall result is a major contribution to a field of study which has gained even more significance and scholarly impetus since the collapse of Communism in Poland in 1989/90.

Fear: Anti-Semitism in Poland After Auschwitz: An Essay in Historical Interpretation $15.4 Poland suffered an exceedingly brutal Nazi occupation during the Second World War. Close to five million Polish citizens lost their lives as a result. More than half the casualties were Polish Jews. Thus, the second largest Jewish community in the world-only American Jewry numbered more than the three and a half million Polish Jews at the time-was wiped out. Over 90 percent of its members were killed in the Holocaust. And yet, despite this unprecedented calamity that affected both Jews and non-Jews, Jewish Holocaust survivors returning to their hometowns in Poland after the war experienced widespread hostility, including murder, at the hands of their neighbors. The bloodiest peacetime pogrom in twentieth-century Europe took place in the Polish town of Kielce one year after the war ended, on July 4, 1946. Jan Gross's "Fear" attempts to answer a perplexing question: How was anti-Semitism possible in Poland after the war? At the center of his investigation is a detailed reconstruction of the Kielce pogrom and the reactions it evoked in various milieus of Polish society. How did the Polish Catholic Church, Communist party workers, and intellectuals respond to the spectacle of Jews being murdered by their fellow citizens in a country that had just been liberated from a five-year Nazi occupation? Gross argues that the anti-Semitism displayed in Poland in the war's aftermath cannot be understood simply as a continuation of prewar attitudes. Rather, it developed in the context of the Holocaust and the Communist takeover: Anti-Semitism eventually became a common currency between the Communist regime and a society in which many had joined in the Nazi campaign of plunder and murder-and for whom the Jewish survivors were a standing reproach. Jews did not bring communism to Poland as some believe; in fact, they were finally driven out of Poland under the Communist regime as a matter of political expediency. In the words of the Nobel Prize--winning poet Czeslaw Milosz, Poland's Communist rulers fulfilled the dream of Polish nationalists by bringing into existence an ethnically pure state. For more than half a century, what happened to the Jewish Holocaust survivors in Poland has been cloaked in guilt and shame. Writing with passion, brilliance, and fierce clarity, Jan T. Gross at last brings the truth to light. Praise for "Fear" "You read "Fear"] breathlessly, all human reason telling you it can't be so-and the book culminates in so keen a shock that even a student of the Jewish tragedy during World War II cannot fail to feel it."-Elie Wiesel, "The Washington Post Book World" "Bone-chilling . . . "Fear"] is illuminating and searing, a moral indictment delivered with cool, lawyerly efficiency that pounds away at the conscience with the sledgehammer of a verdict. . . . "Fear" takes on an entire nation, forever depriving Poland of any false claims to the smug, easy v

Modernization Crisis: The Transformation of Poland $201.16 This book is an enlightening, inspiring, and sobering account of the social and economic transformation of Poland. A multinational and interdisciplinary group of scholars examine the historical precursors that gave shape to the Solidarity movement, then focus on the institutional change that today presents challenges even more daunting than those of the earlier drama of resistance. The contributors have uncovered episodes of political domination, debt, and dependency that are not well known or well understood. These have important implications for economic development in general and for the reconstruction of the deindustrializing economies of Eastern Europe in particular. If Poland is to survive the crisis of the early 1990s, a new and authentic program of economic and human development must be adopted by West and East alike. The book concludes with a new discourse on development.
