Petition TEFL students to teach non-English speaking immigrants as part of course

More details

More and more people are living in the UK with an inadequate understanding of the English language, both written and spoken. This prevents social integration and results in insular communities in inner city areas. Many of these people do not seek to learn English due to cost or availability of teaching resources. With increasing numbers of people taking TEFL courses (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) to allow them to work overseas, it should become a requirement for these course providers to educate non-English speaking communities as part of the training programs.
