Job Description
Are you a seasoned English teacher who wishes to strengthen language learning overseas? Costa Rica has a meaningful opportunity for you!
For decades, many students in Costa Rica’s public education system were not reaching the necessary level of English proficiency even after 11 or 12 years of instruction. In 2017, the Ministry of Public Education (MEP) developed a new multi-year English curriculum to reflect the knowledge, skills, and abilities that Costa Rican students need to succeed as global citizens today. Each year, new lessons and guides are released for different grade levels. However, students continue to struggle to learn English. As MEP updates the national English curriculum to incorporate more action-oriented, communicative approaches, they seek support from skilled, bilingual educators who can share language-learning best practices.
As an English Teacher Trainer, you will collaborate with Regional English Advisors and local secondary school teachers to revise the national English language curriculum, create engaging educational resources, and train teachers to creatively use these materials in the classroom. Your efforts will enable local teachers and students alike to increase their English proficiency and expand their access to personal and professional opportunities.
