Helping Others Learn Language--Sources of Income for Teachers and Not-for-Profit Organizations

As a teacher of English language learners (ELLs) for the past six years, I came across many students and parents who needed to learn English.  Schools sometimes offer English as a second language for parents, though parents rarely have time to come to classes.

An affordable online English language learning program that parents and students can access on their own at home could go a long way to help both improve English skills.  As students build their skills in written and spoken English, academic performance can be expected to improve.

 Students who improve their English on their own using an online English language learning program can more more quickly through classes in English as a second language.  They can also engage more in English conversations related to the vocabulary and grammar they build in the basic English class online.

Some native English speakers can also benefit from an online English language learning program.  Any learner whose home or work environment is not used to standard English usage may benefit from a basic study of English language vocabulary and grammar.

The affordable online language program can benefit students learning English and can help students learning French, Spanish, German, Chinese, or Japanese (and three other languages) improve their communication skills in those languages.

In 2009, thousands of teachers in the USA were forced out of their teaching positions due to the availability of funds for education at local, state, and federal levels.  Many of these teachers need to find ways to make ends meet as they search for new jobs or careers. 

There is a business side to the online language learning programs.  This business side can allow teachers to generate some positive income flow while they pursue their job and career search.

Not-for-profit organizations also face a reduction in funding.  501(c)(3) organizations can get a free website and can receive commissions on the subscriptions of the members who sign-up for the program.  This becomes another source of income to help the not-for-profit organization achieve its mission and goals.

I spoke about signing-up for this program to review my French in a previous post in this blog.  I feel strongly that this will be a real help to students and their families and I am actively looking for people  to help me share this program with others.  It's available globally, not just in the USA.  The business opportunity is also available in most countries.
