Program Description
CII Teach Argentina
Description
CII has over 15 years' experience in the design of exchange programs. Over 400 students and graduates from English-speaking countries have joined our programs.
Before and upon arrival you will receive assistance, guidelines and resources so as to help you prepare yourself for the placement. Your internship will focus on facilitating English learning among locals in three different ways:
* By assisting at educational institutions located across the country. You will help develop a sense of authenticity in the classroom by bringing living aspects of your culture in the manner of workshops and projects, and you will work cooperatively with qualified teachers who will guide and supervise your work.
* By joining our team of camp counselors in our English Immersion Camps which re-enact life in an English speaking community, giving Argentinean students the chance to practice English in context through a full immersion approach in a retreat that usually last three days. Camp Counselors design and run themed programs which revolve around historical or contemporary events, the mythology and traditions of English-speaking countries. Dances, songs, sports, games, foods, crafts and rituals make up a unique cultural event, with the staff of Camp Counselors acting as MCs.
Design an intricate Murder Mystery in Victorian England; stage a Medieval camp where participants overcome quests and challenges on their way to knighthood; lead a group of "49ers" in their search for gold in California; or even help your agency find evil Dr Doomsday at the end of a Spy Camp, just to mention a few of our themes!
* By providing your local host family with English Tutorials to help them improve their communication skills.
