Teaching English as a second language in Latin America?We Answered:
If you are interested in this field, you can start with the people you feel safe with. Try your own experience in talking to them fluently, accurately if you know. What age you feel capable of dealing with decides the suitable strategies and approaches to use. You can also join a night school or any other suitable program on line or the like to get a certificate."I guess this is the advice for the moment you can give to your friend"Regards

My husband and I really want to teach English in Latin America, what is the best organization to go through?We Answered:
I'm Argentinian, and an English teacher.If you're thinking of coming to my country, I think you should get a degree in teaching English first. Otherwise, you won't be hired anywhere.
There was a time when being a native speaker was enough. However, people started to see that many native speakers of English came here hoping to find a teaching position easily simply because they were native speakers. That no longer works. We have very good teachers and professors here; professionals, people who have studied hard to get their degree and who can do more than just speak the language fluently.
It takes years of study and hard work to get a degree in TEFL in my country. Speaking English when you start studying to become a teacher is not a plus, but a requirement, since most the subjects are taught in English in any serious teacher training course.
Having passed your FCE or even TOEFL test won't enable anyone to teach English. Actually, the level required by most universities (for those who wish to take a teacher training course) is at least that of FCE.
Good luck.
