In order to provide ESL training experience, students will be involved with our ongoing refugee ESL program helping to lead classes, tutor refugee students and perform home visits to practice skills learned in class. We will also enroll students in an accredited TESOL certification program. Single MTS students will live in community with other students in a refugee community. |
