Description
Christian TEFL is an online TEFL/TESOL training organisation enabling you to gain a TEFL certificate and use it in a mission setting if you wish.
We have partnered with some major mission organisations, such as Interserve so you can apply directly for optional worldwide TEFL mission placement through our site. Others are teaching English and earning with their certificate.
Christian TEFL offers professional TEFL courses that were created by Global English TESOL courses, one of the oldest and most established online TESOL organisations in existence.
Christian TEFL is registered with the charity commission in the UK. Trainees decide on how the profits are divided between the mission partners.

Teaching English to Refugees
Teaching Online
I recently completed the 10-hour Enter English course, designed to give people in contact with refugees and asylum seekers some initial training in teaching ESOL. I found its content very helpful, ranging from teaching techniques and lesson planning to basic grammar and resources. The webinars and other videos were particularly useful, by showing concepts/ideas in action, as were the pointers towards thinking about what might be most important to these particular learners, not just in terms of language acquisition, but in terms of feeling safe, welcomed and at ease. There isn’t scope in the course to cover all levels of learners – its main focus is teaching beginners, although there are useful sections which touch on more advanced levels, for example, when planning what vocabulary to include in a lesson (with a link to a very helpful dictionary resource) – but I would certainly recommend this course as an excellent starting point for anyone who hasn’t taught English before or needs a refresher (I’d taken a TEFL qualification years ago, but went on to teach something else), or perhaps hasn’t taught before at all. Aside from the course itself, communication with staff is excellent – very prompt responses to any queries etc.
