“TESOL Ministry has been one of my main sources of background information, training, and teaching materials. Being very new to ESL and working with refugees who are not literate in their own language, I rely on TESOL Ministry to help me keep my head above water–or at least be able to come up for air from time to time!”
-New to Teaching ESL
“TESOL ministry has made me feel more connected and supported. I’m grateful for this ministry. The resources on the webpage, informative webinars, and connection at our annual conference give me encouragement and hope as I serve refugees through ESL.”
- Working with Refugees
“The biggest benefit I see to TESOL Ministry’s work is the coming together of people in the faith-based ESL world to share resources and knowledge. It is so helpful to have a central data base of information!”
