Anyone interested in beginning or furthering their ESL teaching career abroad should consider teaching English in Colombia.

The Colombian government also places strong focus on bilingual education making Colombia a great hub for TEFL teachers.

Colombia is the nation of magical realism – it’s capital city of Bogota offers a rich array of art, culture and cuisine. The coffee is out of this world and the street art will leave you speechless! Colombia is also a hugely diverse country and home to the second largest population of Spanish speakers in the world. The country is still relatively undiscovered so now is the perfect time to go and see Colombia for yourself.

It should be noted that a language institution may pay a lower income without providing any of these additional perks.
