Andre Said:

How do I go about applying to teach English in South America?

We Answered:

Best countries (as far as security, infra-structure, etc.) are Chile, Argentina and Brazil. In Brazil, choose a city in the interior of the state of Sao Paulo (modern, safe, etc.). Avoid big cities like Rio and Sao Paulo (the capital of SP state).

Internet, google: choose a country and a city (such as "Santiago", in Chile; "Buenos Aires", in Argentina; and "Campinas", in Brazil). Go to:

1. "English as a foreign language" (general information);
2. "Centro Cultural Brasil-Estados Unidos" (in numerous cities in Brazil);
3. "InglÃ©s en Argentina";
4. "InglÃ©s en Chile".

"How does the program work? Pay? Accomodations?"

YouÂ´ll get paid for the classes you teach. The pay varies from place to place but, for one thing, depending on the number of classes you teach, you will be able to support yourself and live quite comfortably. However, just to be on the safe side, bring some cash with you and save it (who knows what the future brings?). Accomodations are very good, depending on the neighborhood: the cheapest, the worst (of course). In these 3 countries you will find poverty (like youÂ´ve never seen before) and great development (found in any first-world country).

Teaching english in South America?

We Answered:

Much of the answer to pay depends on where you teach in Latin America. I have done quite a bit of research on this subject and it seems to me that the pay is quite bad and unless you are just looking for experience or wanting to learn Spanish (portuguese - Brazil) that you should look at other areas of the world. I would say on average you are looking at anywhere between $300 and $1000 a month at tops. Many of the schools in Latin America use nationals from their own country and pay them very little. I would start by looking at Dave's ELS list on the internet. He lists jobs all over the world. You might like to teach in Spain. If you are looking for a good source (free) to build your Spanish vocabulary you may like the email list at http://www.spanishwordoftheday.com

Paul Said:

I want to teach english in South America/Central America? With TEFL?

We Answered:

There are a lot of options here. Each country in Central/South America is different and offers a different kind of teaching environment. Which country appeals to you?

In general you'll need a degree and a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate to get a visa and work. The TEFL certificate can be taken either in-house at a local school for 4 weeks or online at your own pace. (See http://icalweb.com for a the TEFL cert.)
