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 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 that advise TEFL International centers and participate in teacher training initiatives hosted by TEFL International.
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.
Local ELT Specialists (ESL professionals, school managers and training experts) visit each TEFL International site monthly to moderate and validate our courses. A list of moderators and their credentials can be provided upon request for any of our centers.
