What now?

When it comes to teaching English to refugees and migrants, it really helps to know what you’re doing.
Imagine stepping into a classroom with no specific training for your role. You may have a great teaching qualification, but it hasn’t prepared you for this.
How do I teach refugees without triggering trauma?
​
How can I manage an unpredictable learning environment?
​
How do I avoid burnout?

What is ERM?
It means English for Refugees and Migrants, and it’s different to any other English language teaching you’ve done or been trained in.
We also think it’s one of the most rewarding ways of teaching there is. (Scrap that. It’s the most rewarding).
