Experiences and Opportunities!

Good morning, dear students!

I just wanted to leave you a quick post with a few interesting opportunities regarding travels or studies abroad and other interesting opportunities to immerse yourself in English!

1) TOEFL:  If you've been thinking about taking the TOEFL, what are you waiting for?  It's an intense test and requires several months of preparation, but a high TOEFL score looks great on your CV and Linkedin, and it's usually one of the first steps to applying to an English-speaking University.  Click here to get more information about TOEFL test dates in Santiago, Chile to begin setting your goals!

2) Study Abroad:  Are you interested in studying English in another country to experience immersion, but can't dedicate an entire semester to a university program?  There are many options available around the world to visit for short English courses that also provide you with the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in English-- a great experience that's hard to create in Chile! There are also many courses at universities around the world that allow you to study for one or more semesters that focus purely on English.  The options are almost endless!  Check out programs for Edinburgh, Vancouver, Texas, and Maryland.  A simply google search will find you hundreds of other options, and of course I'm always more than happy to help you find a program abroad that fits your needs!

3) Language Exchange:  Are you limited to staying in Santiago but still want to gain experience speaking to Gringos in English?  This language exchange group is a great opportunity to take advantage of!  Go, get paired with a Gring@, and spend 50% of your time speaking with them in Spanish and 50% of the time speaking with them in English.  Everyone wins, and it's always hosted in a bar in case you need a little liquid courage (i.e. alcohol).  Sign up here!

Did you see any opportunities that interest you?  I hope you did!  If this list didn't have anything interesting for you but you're still interested in seeking out a program or activity to practice English more, let me know in the comments or in our next class.  I'm more than happy to work with all of my students to help them find new ways to experience English!

Happy Wednesday and happy studying!
