Hola Bre! - you should consider the following:

Fulbright Distinguished Awards in Teaching Program
The Fulbright Distinguished Awards in Teaching Program recognizes and
encourages excellence in classroom teaching in the U.S. and abroad. This
program, for highly accomplished primary and secondary teachers, sends U.S.

six month program.

Subject: [ola] Teaching abroad
Hello OWL community!
................................................................................................................................................................
I am writing to you today looking for some information regarding teaching
abroad. Feel free to by-pass this email, as it doesn't pertain to teaching with
OWL...
................................................................................................................................................................
I am just beginning to look into the option of teaching abroad! I would love
to teach Spanish, but would also enjoy teaching English. My goal is to teach
in Chile, but I'll look into other Spanish-speaking countries as well. I have
taken all the ESOL courses from my alma mater, but have yet to take the
certification exam. I do not have a TESOL or TESL certification yet.
My questions for you include:
1. Are you aware if there is a way to by-pass doing a TESOL or TESL
certification program since I have done the ESOL university coursework? It
seems like a repeat of all my classes and over $1,000 of extra expense...
2. Are you familiar with reputable, affordable institutions to receive a
TESOL or TESL certifications from? I'm in Portland, OR, but online is an
option too.
3. Are you familiar with high quality, international teaching programs?
4. If you know anyone who have participated in teaching programs abroad,
would you pass along my contact info? Thanks!!
I hope this email finds you well, and I appreciate the time you've taken to
look into it. I am very excited about this dream potentially becoming a
reality!! I am simultaneously applying for Spanish positions in the Portland,
Oregon area for next year, but really hope I can make teaching in Chile happen.
Thanks again for your help!
Bre :)
