Teach English in Latin America
TEFL Courses in Costa Rica, Mexico, Argentina and Chile
The academic year in South America follows the calendar year, with classes beginning in February or early March and lasting until late November or December. Because of the strong commercial links between the two American continents, the demand tends to be for North American English. The whole continent is culturally and economically oriented towards the United States and Canada. While some language schools may require teachers with a degree from a university, others are looking for no more than a good command of English (whatever the accent) along with a TEFL certificate.
