Global Teaching Dialogue
Ecuador: Fundacion Edificar
Greetings from Edificar Foundation:
We are a non-profit foundation in charge of running the "TIME TO TEACH"
program, which is an official program created by the Ministry of Education
of Ecuador that aims to improve English teaching in public schools. The
project's main objective is to strengthen knowledge and methodologies of
English teaching in public schools, and thus to ensure that students
accomplish an adequate English language proficiency level. We are in charge
of running the program, including the recruitment process, further training
and support during the program for volunteer teachers. At the moment, we are
executing our program in the Coastal Region of Ecuador and we are still
looking for people (native speakers) who will be interested in teach English
in Public Schools, starting in July or August until March 9th.
EDIFICAR Foundation guarantees that this program can be a great opportunity
for people who want to live a unique intercultural experience while visiting
a country with great biodiversity, such as Ecuador.
