Teach English in
Latin America
"The vast region of South
America holds an almost infinite range of opportunities
for anyone who wants to share their native English. From
the specialized training for the business communities
of Santiago and Brasilia to the informal conversation
exchanges with Mexican fishermen and Venezuelan waiters,
the English language provides a link between visitors
and residents.
Apart from a few popular cities,
seldom do you find the glut of teachers you find elsewhere
in the world, possibly because South America is often
pictured as a place of poverty and crime, danger and
corruption, dictators and drug barons. In fact, South

generous people from café-culture urbanites to
street kids, many of whom are eager to meet travelers
and improve their knowledge of the gringos’ native
tongue. The stampede to learn English seems unstoppable.
In the big cities the greatest demand
for English comes from the business community. And because
of the strong commercial links between the two American
continents, the demand tends to be for American English.
The whole continent is culturally and economically oriented
towards the U.S."—Susan
Griffith in Work

nightlife pleasures while earning a living
teaching English to the locals. But unlike
certain global areas with a much more rigorous
application, interview, and hiring process
that involve visas or housing appropriations,
many countries in South America often utilize
less a rigid system of employing teachers... |

CIEE: Council on International
Educational Exchange
Teach English in Chile
In Chile, Teach Abroad assignments vary widely.
Depending on yours, you might live in the capital
city of Santiago, the port city of Valparaíso,
or the resort town of Viña del Mar. There,
you might teach English to students enrolled at
DuocUC, a system of technical community colleges
affiliated with the Pontificia Universidad Católica
de Chile. Or you might find yourself teaching a
subject you studied in college to Chilean students
in English at the Universidad de Chile in Santiago.
Or you could become an English teacher in a private
primary or secondary school in one of the affluent
neighborhoods surrounding Santiago. Regardless
of where you teach, you’ll have your own
Chilean adventures inside and outside the classroom.
