Speaking English means access to the world. That’s today’s reality of travel and the Internet. But there are still a lot of places where English is hardly spoken. Brazil is such a place. That’s why English First, and international English teaching school, has partnered with the Brazilian Olympic Committee and the Brazilian Ministry of Education to open an online English language school. The school will be available to 550,000 high school students, and 450,000 Olympic volunteers in a big attempt to leverage a world event to catalyze learning.
