Jobs at Chatloop

People who have been forced to flee their homes to escape violence and persecution have to build a new lives for themselves from scratch. One of the chief challenges in rebuilding is learning the language of the community that has given them a safe place to start anew. Chatloop’s mission is to help people from refugee or other disadvantaged backgrounds learn languages. To achieve this, Chatloop will become a sustainable social enterprise, earning revenue by offering language learning services/products to non-refugee second language learners. These customers will not only learn a language with Chatloop: they’ll also know that the money they spend on Chatloop goes towards helping refugees learn languages. Chatloop’s founder holds both a Masters degree and a PhD in Applied Linguistics, and has many years experience both learning and teaching second languages. This expertise in modern second language acquisition techniques distinguishes Chatloop from many other organisations producing language learning apps, which are clearly based on an out-of-date understanding of how second language acquisition happens. Another distinguishing feature of Chatloop as an organisation is that we take full responsibility of our user’s experience on Chatloop. We’re offering services to some of society’s most vulnerable individuals, so it’s not enough just to launch an app and walk away thinking “job’s done”. Instead, we work closely with other organisation in the refugee settlement and support sector to make sure that our learners’ experiences conform to sector best practices.
