Hello all. I am trying to gather info for my search for a post as an elementary school teacher in 2006-07.

How important is it to speak Spanish, which I don't, for a teacher's chances for getting hired in an international school in South America?

Are classes taught in both languages? Just English? Just Spanish?




Thank you for your help.
