Description

Recognizing the fundamental importance of English language instruction in the modern world, the Chilean government created English Opens Doors in 2004 in order to connect local children with native English speakers. Since then, the program has been extremely successful and continues to expand. And now, you can be a part of it. BridgeTEFL has been chosen by the Chilean Ministry of Education (MINEDUC) and the United Nations Development Program to recruit a select group of English teachers for the esteemed English Opens Doors Program in Patagonia, Chile.

As a teacher with this program, you will have the chance to team-teach classes with Chilean English teachers in public and subsidized schools, helping to motivate students to learn English and create new opportunities for both teachers and students to practice English language skills on a daily basis. You will also organize and implement extracurricular activities such as English conversation groups, art projects, dance classes, and sports and science clubs.
