Length of Position: 4 week TESOL course

Description: LanguageCorps offers TESOL Training Only in Cusco: a four-week training course that include 120+ hours of classroom time and, the most important part of any quality TESOL certificate course, at least 6 hours of Observed Teaching Practice with local EFL students.

Highlights: The TESOL program prepares graduates to teach English effectively in any classroom in the world. Designed for those with or without previous teaching experience, this intensive training program includes instruction from experienced trainers, classroom observation of professional teachers, and teaching practice with language learners. Participants learn how to lead classes using the communicative approach, teaching students to use real-world language for real-world situations. Upon graduation, trainees will be able to teach adult ESL/EFL classes of different levels, feel comfortable choosing the right material to teach a given class, and complement their classes with audio-visual aids.

The TESOL program in Peru is located in Cusco, which is in the Huatanay River Valley, in the southeastern Andes. Cusco is known as the archeological capital of the Americas. The city has long made a name for itself as the gateway to nearby Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail. Every narrow street and lane of Cusco emanates history, as traces of ancient Incan culture and the town's colonial past provide an intriguing backdrop for the contemporary buildings and modern conveniences of an international tourist destination. The Training Center in Cusco is located in a modern office building in the center of town.

Qualifications: Successful LanguageCorps teachers are true global citizens. They are comfortable with, and excited about, genuine intercultural exchange. They embrace opportunities to share their own cultural identity with others, and to immerse themselves in new and different worlds. While neither previous teaching experience nor foreign language skills are required, all LanguageCorps teachers must possess excellent native-level English, a college degree, a valid passport; and must complete an application, interview, and background check.
