TEFL and Teach English in Ecuador
Volunteer on this GVI project and teach English to children in the Andean communities in the mountains surrounding Otavalo, Ecuador. English is becoming increasingly important at both primary and secondary level education, but the majority of schools do not have qualified English teachers. As a volunteer on this important project, you will first take an Introductory TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) course in Ecuador in preparation. You will then be placed in a class where you will teach in the mornings and spend the afternoon planning the next day’s lessons. An experienced TEFL teacher will be on hand to assist you with both teaching and planning.
Dates Offered: 4 to 16 weeks, departures throughout the year
Costs: $2010 for 4 weeks
