Schools
The amount of time devoted to the teaching of English varies greatly – from about 3 hours a week in some state schools to approximately 15 hours a week in bilingual schools. The latter includes the teaching of other subjects, such as maths, history, etc, in English. Many of the bilingual schools are linked through ESSARP ( English Speaking Scholastic Association of the River Plate). ESSARP also administer Cambridge ESOL and International Examinations in schools.
Culturas
These not-for-profit, English language teaching institutions have a long history in Argentina. The oldest is the AACI ( Asociación Argentina de Cultura Inglesa), founded in 1927. They were founded with the purpose of promoting the English language and cultural links between the UK and Argentina. They offer classes at all levels and for all ages. They have bilingual libraries and run cultural programmes. A number of ‘culturas’ are grouped under FAACI (Federación Argentina de Asociaciones de Cultura Inglesa).
Private language institutes
There are many private institutes offering classes to children and adults. Over 130 are members of SEA ( Schools of English Association).
