You are expected to cover fourteen to twenty 50-minute Foreign Culture Class sessions a week, plus 10 to 16 hours of office work where you will prepare your classes, mark homework, create examinations, and grade students. That will make 30 fifty-minute sessions a week.

Class topics may be about, but not limited to your own country’s traditions, culture, society, education, tourism, music, history, sports, literature, food, art, science, etc. guided by Departamento de Idiomas at our school, but volunteers will be free to enrich or even change class sessions with their own ideas.
