TEFL Watch – Look Out for the Bad Apples

Truth and Justice in TEFL World

Snarling Doggy

TEFLWatch.org has been providing warnings, advice, and a voice to TEFLers around the world since January 2006. The TEFL world has a lot to be ashamed of, from nasty recruiters, to shoddy schools, to complete shams and fraud. TEFL Watch’s mission statement sums up why such a website is needed:
