The book is coherent and flows well from the introduction and from chapter to chapter. The author gives the actual situation in education in Chile and also with teaching English.Chile needs more qualified teachers of English to come there, which is the author's purpose to try to provide relevant and factual information about what to expect as a teacher in Chile. This content is actually very useful to prospective teachers to help know about teaching in Chile. Chilean culture is also included.The author talks about the case of a teacher in Italy who was considered too sexy to teach. He uses this to show that this would be true also in Chile. How a teacher behaves (and dresses) is important both at work and on a teacher's free time. He also talks about a teacher who was fired for teaching too well...in Andorra, which by the way, is in Europe, and not Africa.He quotes a newspaper in Spanish and Catalán for anyone who would like to trace the source of the story to its roots. There are no French sources quoted, since Andorra is not in France. All in all, this book is a very good source of information about not only teaching in Chile, but also contemporary issues that are important to all teachers all over the world.Going to Chile?Interested in being a teacher in Chile? Grab a copy of this book. You won't be disappointed.
