We work with graduate students, pre-service teachers, in-service teachers, teachers from bi-national centers, universities, language schools and from public schools from Latin America, North America, Asia and Europe. 


Comments from people involved in our work:

In my opinion, the SIT affiliate in Costa Rica provides the highest quality training for English teachers and teacher trainers in the region. Not only have the program participants offered the most positive feedback from what some call a "life-changing" experience, but also the multiplier effect has exceeded all expectations, as a majority of the program alumni have shared their newly gained expertise with colleagues in their home countries. Due to the extensive success of this program with participants from throughout Latin America, the U.S. Department of State has generously supported the program for the past seven years.
