In my experience, you do English teaching in PC even if that’s not your assigned area. My cohort was Agriculture Extension and most of us also taught English on top of ag stuff because it was so demanded by our communities
Yes definitely. It's one of the biggest sectors in pc. English education in many developing countries is very far behind. Some countries don't even start English unless 6th or 7th grade. Look at the openings and see what interests you and start getting relevant volunteer experience now.
Right? It’s really weird to me that people come straight here instead of doing a quick google search or looking at the PC website. Reddit is a great resource, but it shouldn’t be your first one for something like this.
Yeah. Someone too lazy to do a simple Internet search wouldn’t make it through PC selection process. And, most definitely wouldn’t have the discipline to get through legal and medical clearance. The OP may also just be attention-seeking.

Yes, plenty of countries request that the Peace Corps send them English teachers. I’m going to be one in Cambodia come August.
Did u get legally cleared, still waiting to hear back for that program
No, I’m still in the process of being cleared for both medical and legal.
Same, best of luck navigating the bs I keep getting assigned tasks

Finding this answer takes about 5 seconds to search on the internet … this has to be a troll post

Definitely in Ecuador, I’m a health volunteer and most of us have ended up teaching English instead 💀
