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.
International board members visit TEFL International regions
worldwide. Members participate as keynote speakers at free national
teacher training conferences, and 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 that advise TEFL International
centers and participate in teacher training initiatives hosted by
TEFL International.
Regional board members (local moderators) are trained specialists
with more than five years experience in teaching, teacher training
and managerial positions. Regional members visit TEFL International
locations monthly to moderate each TEFL International course,
ensuring the course meets industry needs for that particular region,
is of high quality and that trainees are happy with their courses. 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. The regional moderator meets with
training staff and course participants, reviews course participants'
work and checks center resources are adequate.
All TEFL
International courses meet international accreditation standards
(over 120 hours of input and over 6 hours of observed teaching
practice.).
