CIEE Launches Innovative Online Courses to Help Aspiring Educators Teach Abroad with Confidence











Portland, Maine (PRWEB) October 01, 2014

CIEE: Council on International Educational Exchange proudly announces the launch of its Teach English as a Foreign Language(TEFL) certification courses – online courses that provide optimal preparation to teach English in classrooms around the world.

In keeping with its mission to help people thrive in a globally interdependent and culturally diverse environment, CIEE TEFL courses prepare new teachers to enter classrooms with knowledge of TEFL theories and teaching practices, plus keen cultural awareness. The professional-level TEFL certification course exceeds the requirements of competitive hiring institutions and fulfills the visa terms of local and national governments.

“We want to give people all the tools they need to explore the world and its many diverse cultures,” says Matthew Redman, director of CIEE’s Teach Abroad programs. “CIEE TEFL is an important addition to our company’s offerings – it provides practical skills and knowledge and allows people to go abroad with confidence that they’re completely prepared to make the most of their time overseas.”

As a leading provider of Teach Abroad programs, CIEE has helped thousands of college graduates participate in CIEE Teach Abroad programs all over the world. By working closely with participants from the time they decide to go abroad until well after they’ve returned, CIEE has discovered that success abroad directly correlates with the sense of readiness program participants have.

In 2013, CIEE set out to build TEFL courses that would prepare participants more thoroughly than traditional TEFL courses by third-party providers. CIEE’s program developers consulted with intercultural experts, ESL professionals, education programmers, and academic peers to develop and optimize curriculum, produce content, and achieve accreditation from the World TEFL Accrediting Commission. The result is an innovative approach that addresses the needs of CIEE TEFL trainees, hiring institutions, and international English learners.

CIEE’s two TEFL courses are conducted via a convenient, cloud-based learning management system that can be accessed anywhere with computers, tablets, and mobile devices. Students attend weekly meetings, participate in discussions, and receive feedback on assignments from experienced EFL tutors. Students who choose professional-level certification also complete a 20-hour practicum in their communities or virtually, giving them a valuable opportunity to practice what they’ve learned and build confidence.

A pilot course produced positive feedback from students, who appreciate the convenience, flexibility, engaging interaction, and variation of this online format. “I liked being able to move through the modules at my own pace, and the ability to connect with my peers through discussions and tutorials,” notes a student from Massachusetts.

Equally important, students confirm that the course gives them more confidence. “I feel more comfortable about teaching now than I ever did – and I’m only halfway done!” says a student from Utah who departs soon for Thailand. “For the first time, I really began to believe in myself as a teacher,” adds a student from Michigan who soon will be teaching in Spain.

CIEE TEFL courses begin October 6; new courses begin every two weeks. Visit ciee.org/tefl, send an email to tefl@ciee.org, or call 207-274-5711 for more information.

Prospero Foundation Supports a Farmer in Honduras











Antibes, France (PRWEB) October 16, 2014

The Prospero Foundation, founded by Ulrik DeBo of DeBondo Capital, is excited to announce that a microloan donation has been made to Juan, a farmer in the town of Azacualpa, Santa Bárbara in Honduras

Juan is 43 and married, with two children. He has worked in agriculture his whole life, growing various crops. His principal crop that affords him his main source of income, however, is coffee, which he sells in the local market. He intends to use these funds to buy fungicide, manure, pesticide and other supplies to help ensure a bigger harvest. His goal is to improve his family’s living conditions.

About Micro-lending with The Prospero Foundation

Through partnerships with local lending institutions, the Prospero Foundation contributes capital for the purpose of small business loans to these micro-entrepreneurs in developing nations. Through these partnerships, the Foundation helps small business people such as farmers, shopkeepers, and artisans build their businesses and in turn stimulate economic development in their communities. This loan is administered by Organización de Desarrollo Empresarial Femenino Financiera, S.A. (ODEF). A leader in the microfinance sector for nearly thirty years, ODEF strives to combat poverty by offering a wide array of financial services to the low-income sector. The organisation works with its parent NGO, ODEF OPD, to provide training and technical assistance to impoverished microentrepreneurs. By incorporating the entire family unit in this process, ODEF OPD aims to improve the standard of living through the creation of profitable enterprises.

About The Prospero Foundation

The Prospero Foundation is a private, international charitable foundation founded by Ulrik DeBo. Mr DeBo, a lifelong entrepreneur, whose upbringing and eventual success in the finance industry, through his company DeBondo Capital Ltd, gave him the relevant experience and insight required.

 

The foundation is run by a global network of entrepreneurs, who raise funds privately amongst their business contacts, and choose to invest them using a ‘pay-it-forward’ philosophy to focus on charitable projects that promise to perpetuate a chain reaction of positive growth opportunities for individuals and local communities for generations to come.

 

It is a foundation that empowers citizens to help themselves and those around them.
