Teaching Foreign Languages in the Classroom

Information

This group aims to analyze the teaching of foreign languages at schools across the Americas, looking at both the existing policy framework and the implementation of programs designed to increase language proficiency in schools. This is an increasingly important topic in the educational agenda of the region as it is linked to creating opportunities to access to quality education.

Please share your ideas and experiences on the teaching of foreign languages as well as its challenges.

We have a webinar next week with Dr. Ariel Fiszbein, the Director of the Education Program at the Inter-American Dialogue, where he will present experiences on the teaching of the English language at schools across Latin America.

We invite all teachers involved in the teaching of foreign languages to join us!

Many professionals looking for work in Chile can find positions with better salaries if they speak a language, often located in the largest cities in the country. However, this does not happen everywhere
