Our expert team reveal why a global citizens TEFL programme could be a smart business move for your organisation.
What is a global citizens programme?
Global citizenship is a concept that focuses on making individuals aware of the wider world and their place in it – in an attempt to make our planet more peaceful, sustainable, and fair.
The main tenets of global citizenship can include:
- Building an understanding of world events
- Considering their values and what they consider most important
- Taking learning into the real world
- Challenging ignorance and intolerance
- Getting involved in their local, national, and global communities
- Utilising considerate argument and challenge while voicing their own opinions
- Experiencing that they have the power to enact change and influence the world around them
While this can be taught as separate courses and targeted with specific qualifications, an excellent way of targeting this is with global citizens TEFL training.
Top ways a global citizens TEFL makes a difference
1. Taking learning (quite literally) into the real world
Learning to teach English as a foreign language abroad quite literally makes education accessible to all.
Considered the most widely spoken language in the world, there are many benefits that come from learning English, from:
- Career options and advancement
- Improved and easier communication
- Access to further education and entertainment of all types
- Improves cognitive function and confidence
And by offering a TEFL training initiative to your students, they can go on to share these benefits with their own students.
2. Global communities are built
In times of increasing dissent and separation within communities, even in cities across the UK, there is an ever-widening need for a strong and unified global community focused on improving the lives of all.
What better way to achieve this than sending skilled, confident, and capable global citizens TEFL teachers out to communities and cultures across the globe?
3. Enacting change to the world around them
While it may seem insignificant, with such a varied and wide selection of benefits associated with English language skills – spreading literacy is one of the stepping stones to empowering communities and individuals to make changes that benefit them.
And your global citizens TEFL training can make this happen: by providing teaching staff concerned with the growth and improvement of others.
