Brazil is the biggest and most populous country in South America so it’s surprising how few TEFL positions are advertised for this fascinating place. The energy and lifestyle encapsulated by the Rio Carnival must ignite a TEFL teacher’s curiosity about what extraordinary experiences he or she might have teaching in Brazil. There are plenty of language schools in Brazil so you could send a prospective letter to a school to enquire about possible vacancies or prerequisites for attaining a position at their centre. Check with your government’s foreign office to see what they recommend regarding living and working in Brazil. You should also check which vaccinations you might need if you are going to live in Brazil.
