TEFL Watch – Look Out for the Bad Apples

Truth and Justice in TEFL World
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:
TEFLWatch is a site for and by teachers. TEFLWatch aims to provide a place on the internet where teachers can freely discuss issues affecting their careers and report on both good and bad schools, agencies and recruiters. TEFLWatch is pro-teacher and will support teachers in all instances where treatment of teachers is unethical, unjust, immoral or illegal. TEFLWatch will always offer all schools and other employers a right of reply, but will routinely report any attempted threats or intimidations to our general readership.
Let’s get an in-depth look at TEFL Watch. I interviewed moderator and co-administrator, “Eugene”, of TEFL Watch.
