Ambassador Wayne met on January 24 with a group of seven English teachers hailing from throughout Argentina who will serve as teacher ambassadors at the Texas International Education Consortium (TIEC) in Austin, Texas, for two weeks. The program is designed to foster better understanding of the U.S. through classroom work, encourage debate over new pedagogic trends and set up lasting ties between English teachers in Argentina and the US. The Ambassador underscored that the program is a tool to strengthen mutual understanding between Argentina and the US while also helping the Teachers Ambassadors learn more about their area of expertise.
