Courses

 

The centro de Estudios Interamericanos (tel. 836-003, fax 833-593), Gran Colombia 11-02, Casilla 597, Cuenca, offers courses, including Spanish, Quichua, Portuguese, Latin American Literature and indigenous culture. Students who already speak Spanish can take internships in areas ranging from ethnomusicology to export. These courses are offered for full semesters and for college credit three times a year, although students wishing to learn Spanish on a 'drop-in' basis can also be accommodated.

The center also offers English classes, which are taught by native English-speackers with a college degree. This is an opportunity to work in Ecuador, particularly if you have training in teaching English as a second language, although tutors with a degree in other fields can also find work.
