In an emergency, not being able to explain what's wrong isn't just a language barrier—it can determine whether someone gets the help they need.
That's why we're building English for Emergencies: a practical English curriculum that teaches the exact language people need in a crisis, including medical emergencies, personal safety, and calling for help.
The program will be available in flexible formats, including self-paced online learning and tutor-led online or in-person classes.
It's designed for:
🌍 Sending agencies preparing people to live and work abroad
🏢 International organizations supporting staff who are not fluent in English
⛪ Churches and refugee ministries providing ESL programs for the people they serve
We're not launching publicly just yet, but we'd love to give you an early look:

TESOL Ministry is a 501(c)(3), and this project is entirely donor-funded. If this mission resonates with you—or if your organization could benefit from a program like this—we'd love to hear from you. Send us a message to learn more or to help us bring it to completion.
Vocabulary and phrases for real emergencies — built for aid workers, missionaries, international staff, and study-abroad students.
