By Paul Kahlon.

Regarded by many to be one of the most elegant cities in the world, Buenos Aires is the ideal setting to begin your adventure with TEFL! The city is teeming with its own colorful culture, yet boasts a European flare as well, a unique quality that is difficult to find elsewhere in South America. Moreover, many Argentines are eager to learn English and, as a result, there are ample opportunities to find teaching positions all around the country!

Is tourism in Argentina still on the rise? You bet your bottom peso it is.
Press Release, for immediate release: Argentina, May 9, 2008 - Buenos Aires
Only a mere 6 years since the devaluation of the peso and the economy suffering great despair, Argentina has continued to progress and is again on its way to the top, most recently being placed back alongside cities like Paris, New York, and Madrid for cultural tourism.
The country’s diversity and peso value have kept foreigners returning to travel year after year, but there is now an even stronger sector of foreigners infiltrating the streets of Argentina; those who have come to study and work.
What are students mostly studying? 'Spanish,’ states Argentina, the official online site for Argentina. In 2007, an increase from 17,000-25,000 students studying Spanish was witnessed, which totalled more than 26 million dollars being spent in the idiomatic tourism sector.
'Starting in October, all the way through till May, we have so many students wanting to attend our school that we simply have to turn some away,’ says Florencia Bozzano, Director of Íbero Spanish School in Buenos Aires. Íbero, located downtown in the 'language district’, has been operating for 8 years and continues every year to see its student numbers grow.
'Not only is the need and want for the Spanish language increasing but where is a better and more affordable place than Argentina to study and live,’ says Bozzano. In Argentina, the average rate for a group Spanish class is $7.75-10USD per hour or about $150-200USD per week; a lot less compared to the average $20-40USD an hour in America or Europe.
Language schools are common in Buenos Aires, however, Íbero has figured out the key to keeping ahead of the competition; by offering high quality classes at affordable prices. 'I don’t believe in over charging our students just because they are foreigners. We price our classes at reasonable rates in relation to our economy, the class, teacher’s wages, and school materials. Nothing more,’ says Bozzano.
Íbero’s TEFL course runs for 4 intensive weeks with plenty of in-class lectures and teaching practice. They advertise their courses as fun, dynamic and challenging, and offer job placement assistance as soon as the students have finished.
Today it’s a reality for students to be able to move abroad in order to study or teach English for a year or more and still return financially secure; this incredible opportunity and experience is what Íbero wants to continue to be part of.’

El
auge del
castellano
en la
enseñanza
de
idiomas
Impulsada por el auge turístico y el tipo de cambio favorable, la enseñanza de español a extranjeros se ha convertido en una pujante actividad. Las clases son flexibles y el servicio incluye distintas propuestas culturales, sociales y visitas a lugares de atracción.
Sobre la mesa hay un planisferio y la recepcionista identifica una larga lista de ciudades desde donde cientos de estudiantes llegan a Íbero Spanish para aprender español.
'Cuando empezamos con la idea de dar cursos en el país, la actividad no estaba regulada y no había material didáctico', relata Juan Astudillo, manager de este instituto porteño que tiene unos 1.100 alumnos por año.
Devaluación y boom turístico mediante, la oferta se ha extendido de un puñado a dos centenares de escuelas que varían espacio, metodología y didáctica.'Después de España, hoy Buenos Aires es el destino turístico más buscado para aprender español', agrega Astudillo.
Acentuar el diferencial
'Cada vez vienen más europeos y australianos', indica Florencia Bozzano, directora de Íbero.
Ante la diversidad de la demanda, decidieron adaptar material de lectura, sumar soportes audiovisuales y diferenciar las clases grupales por edad y profesión. Los certificados que emiten están bajo los parámetros del Marco Europeo Común de Referencia de las lenguas.
También sumaron información de lugares y aspectos culturales argentinos y regionalismos de América Latina.
'Como la gran mayoría de nuestros estudiantes viaja sola, tratan de que el instituto también les organice el hospedaje y el contacto con la gente', agrega Astudillo.
En efecto, las actividades extracurriculares son una parte fundamental en la oferta de institutos y la mayoría acompaña las clases con la coordinación de tours, fiestas y salidas culturales.
