8-MONTH, 6-MONTH, and 4-MONTH PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Volunteers are assigned to public schools in regions throughout Chile, live with host families in their communities and receive a monthly stipend. During their programs, volunteers work as English-language teaching assistants to Chilean English teachers for 25 hours per week, and spend an additional 10 hours a week planning classes and leading extra-curricular activities for the school community.

English language instruction begins in the 5th grade and volunteers may be assigned to work with one or more grade levels anywhere from 5th to 12th grade. Volunteers are given their own classroom to work with groups of about 20 students on listening and speaking activities as directed by the Chilean English teacher. For many students and teachers, a volunteer is their only opportunity to listen to and practice speaking in English with a native speaker.
