TESOL PLUS PROGRAM, MEXICO

The TESOL Pus Program combines TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) certification with a more comprehensive set of support services than the basic TESOL Certification program. The Oaxaca-based program begins with a week of Spanish language and cultural training, directed to your level of Spanish ability. During this week you can become familiar with the city of Oaxaca, brush up on or learn Spanish, and become acquainted with your Oaxacan host family. This is followed by an intensive four-week TESOL training and certification course that provides participants with professional knowledge and skills in TESOL methodology, as well as teaching practice with local EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students. The TESOL Certificate you will earn is internationally recognized and will allow you to teach English in any overseas location. During training, the staff will provide counsel and guidance on CV (resume) development, what Mexican employers are looking for, and schools that have teaching positions. Teaching positions are readily available throughout Oaxaca, and elsewhere in Mexico. Home stay accommodations are included during the five weeks of training. Other support services are included as well, such as a one year travel insurance policy and a re-entry package that helps you leverage your experience abroad as you look towards employment or furthering your education when you return to your home country.
