Argentina, Argentine Republic (Press Release) May 9, 2008 --
Only a mere 6 years since the devaluation of the peso and the economy suffering great despair, Argentina has continued to progress and is again on its way to the top, most recently being placed back alongside cities like Paris, New York, and Madrid for cultural tourism.
The country’s diversity and peso value have kept foreigners returning to travel year after year, but there is now an even stronger sector of foreigners infiltrating the streets of Argentina; those who have come to study and work.
What are students mostly studying? ‘Spanish,’ states Argentina, the official online site for Argentina. In 2007, an increase from 17,000-25,000 students studying Spanish was witnessed, which totalled more than 26 million dollars being spent in the idiomatic tourism sector.
‘Starting in October, all the way through till May, we have so many students wanting to attend our school that we simply have to turn some away,’ says Florencia Bozzano, Director of Íbero Spanish School in Buenos Aires. Íbero, located downtown in the ‘language district’, has been operating for 8 years and continues every year to see its student numbers grow.
‘Not only is the need and want for the Spanish language increasing but where is a better and more affordable place than Argentina to study and live,’ says Bozzano. In Argentina, the average rate for a group Spanish class is $7.75-10USD per hour or about $150-200USD per week; a lot less compared to the average $20-40USD an hour in America or Europe.
Language schools are common in Buenos Aires, however, Íbero has figured out the key to keeping ahead of the competition; by offering high quality classes at affordable prices. ‘I don’t believe in over charging our students just because they are foreigners. We price our classes at reasonable rates in relation to our economy, the class, teacher’s wages, and school materials. Nothing more,’ says Bozzano.
At Íbero, 20 hours of group classes a week will set you back only $135USD; that’s $6.75USD an hour, noticeably less than other schools in the city. And more often that not, Íbero offers special prices for packaged classes. In these prices is included a lesson book, handouts, conversation classes, cultural activities, and free volunteer programs.
Íbero will also become part of another tourism sector that is on the rise this June; TEFL, Teaching English as a Foreign Language. ‘The need and want for English in Argentina, and even more in Buenos Aires, is continually growing and teaching jobs for foreigners continue to be in abundance,’ say Bozzano.
Íbero’s TEFL course runs for 4 intensive weeks with plenty of in-class lectures and teaching practice. They advertise their courses as fun, dynamic and challenging, and offer job placement assistance as soon as the students have finished. Again, in attempt to keep ahead of the competition, Íbero offers their internationally recognized course for a reasonable $1250USD, about 300-600 dollars less than the competition.
‘Today it’s a reality for students to be able to move abroad in order to study or teach English for a year or more and still return financially secure; this incredible opportunity and experience is what Íbero wants to continue to be part of.’
