OUR MISSION

LanguageCorps offers comprehensive programs of training, placement and logistical support for talented people interested in travel, internationalism, and teaching abroad.

We provide unique training combining TEFL / TESOL certification, local language and cultural immersion, and placement into paid teaching assignments with select schools – all toward the end of empowering our Teachers to thrive as professionals abroad.

LanguageCorps’ MISSION is to offer participants a rewarding experience living in, working in, and learning about a new culture; affording them a unique opportunity to learn and apply new skills and challenging them to develop a wider, first-person perspective about the diversity of cultures and populations around the world – all within the security of a paid job, a highly organized system, and a supportive community.

LanguageCorps’ GOALS are to:
• Empower our Teachers with training, placement and support, focusing on the process so our Teachers can focus on the experience of living as professionals abroad
• Challenge our Teachers to learn and apply new skills, while making real contributions to the success and well being of others in the world
• Help mitigate the risk often associated with living and working in a new part of the world, far from home - allowing our Teachers enjoy a secure, rewarding adventure
• Work for our Teachers, not for the schools which employ them
• Facilitate the development of culturally responsive "citizen diplomats," who appreciate cultural diversity, foster mutual respect, and encourage understanding among culturally diverse peoples
