Teaching English in Dominican RepublicBack to Tefl World

The Dominican Republic lies on the eastern side of the island of Hispaniola which it shares with Haiti.  It is renowned as a destination for exotic weddings due to its pristine beaches set against the highest mountains in the Caribbean, which has helped the Dominican Republic attain the largest economy in the Caribbean and Central American region.  The Spanish-speaking country has a population with a high level of English proficiency due to English being a compulsory subject at school as well as the strong American influence on the island.  TEFL positions are rarely advertised outside of the country, but if you are keen to work there, then you could try contacting one of its many educational institutions to ask about career opportunities.  Remember to check which vaccinations are needed for the Dominican Republic a couple of months before you depart for the island.
