Hello,
Does anyone have refugee teaching experience or have information on opportunities to teach refugees in Germany? I am an English Second Language (ESL) teacher interested in teaching refugee children abroad, yet, it has been quite difficult finding information on how to get involved. Most of my searches online have resulted in companies trying to sell TEFL courses. I’d be grateful for any advice!

I would assume that learning ESL wouldn't be important for these children, and is probably very low on the priority list. Since they're going to be living in Germany, they are probably learning DaF (Deutsch als Fremdsprache – essentially German as a second language).
