Board of Academic Advisors

With the amount of information available on the internet regarding various EFL and ESL Teacher Training courses it can be very confusing for any one who wants to enroll for a TEFL Course. Who does one trust, which is the most creditable course provider, who has the greatest rate of successful placements? These questions can be very baffling yet very relevant. TEFL International is the largest Teacher training organization – however you may not accepted our word for it. We understand your predicament and therefore have got our TEFL and TESOL courses scrutinized and endorsed by some of the most revered names in the business.

 
TEFL International is externally validated and moderated by a Board of Academic Advisors. This board includes several internationally recognized experts in the field of English Language Teaching as well as dozens of regional language experts in language teaching and teacher training. Both international and regional members advise TEFL International staff on our teacher training centers worldwide.

Every month, Regional Board members or external moderators, not a TEFL International staff member, visit our TEFL International centers, meet trainee teachers, observe the way the TESOL course is run and send feedback to the central administration in order to maintain quality control and high standards of teaching.
 

Very few TEFL / TESOL Course providers can boast of such an eminent list of educationists and English language experts on their Board of Academic Advisors and this itself lends creditability to the quality, thoroughness and relevancy of our TESOL / TEFL Courses.


International board members visit TEFL International regions worldwide annually. Members participate as keynote speakers at free national teacher training conferences / workshops sponsored and hosted by TEFL International. They also provide TEFL International with advice on the quality of our training programs in the region they visit on how our programs can adapt and change with growing trends in teacher training. International board members are not TEFL International moderators, but industry experts.

We are actively seeking additional ESL professionals to join this board. Interested individuals may email daveh@teflintl.com and receive information on being involved with some of the brightest minds in the industry.

Regional board members are trained specialists with more than three years experience in teaching, teacher training and managerial positions (which hire teachers). Regional members visit TEFL International locations monthly to ensure that each TEFL International course meets industry needs for that particular region and is of high quality. A regional member is not a TEFL International staff member, but rather a paid external consultant that moderates our courses monthly by visiting our center in the region where they have knowledge of local teacher needs. The regional moderator meets with training staff and course participants, observes trainee teaching practice, reviews course participant’s work and checks center resources are adequate. A full description of the moderation process, as well as any credentials of regional moderators, can be provided on request by emailing mikef@teflintl.com
