Language school associations: Find out if an association of language schools exists in your chosen country, if they do then ask them some questions.

The contract:
Needless to say, when you get your contract you need to read it carefully. Make sure everything you agreed on is included and check that they haven’t added any sneaky clauses. Don’t be afraid to ask for a translated copy of the contract. This is completely normal and should be expected.

Research: research your school to make sure it is completely reputable.

I hope that thsi info will help you in some way.

Resources:
It’s easy to say that any reputable language school will have a selection of teaching resources (like handouts, card games, lesson plans, dictionaries and grammar books) but this isn’t necessarily the case. These resources take time and money to acquire and if a language school has just started out then it won’t necessarily have them yet. If they don’t have such resources ask them why and question if they have any plans to build up a resources section in the future.

Prepare some questions before the interview and make sure you ask them.
Does the school only hire qualified TEFL, TESOL teachers?
Does the school perform regular teacher assessments to ensure teaching quality?
Does the school follow a set syllabus?
Does the school encourage student feedback?
Does the school have regular tests to assess student progress?
What is their contract like
Have the company send you a email copy look it over
never send them your orignal diploma copies, send photo copies.
Do the companies that are hiring provide?
Work visas: If they won’t support your application for a work visa then you need to find another school that will.

Qualifications:You should be wary of any school that doesn’t ask for some kind of formal qualification. Some schools ask for degrees, other just require a TEFL, TESOL qualification, but they should require some proof that you are able to perform your duties as a TEFL teacher.

Finding Reputable English employers

There are a lot of crummy language schools out there and you’ll want to avoid them like the plague, here’s how to do it…
An interview is as much about you finding out if the school is right for you as it is about the school finding out if you’re right for it.

Pick Your School with Care, Finding Reputable Schools.
We’ve all heard the rumours. Schools that refuse to pay, schools that work you like a Trojan, even schools that expect you to pay them! There are a lot of crummy language schools out there and you’ll want to avoid them like the plague, here’s how to do it…

i wouldn't say that all E.F is bad i am sure that there are still good places were E.F are hiring teachers , but the sad thing about their unfairness in some schools puts a bad light upon the rest.

Jacqueline: here is something for you to look at before you take or sign a contract with E.F.

English First is allowed to change the terms of the contract of the teacher AFTER the contract is signed by both parties? And how is this done with no legal representation for the party whose contract is being changed?

Why are Native teachers required to sign a contract that stipulates that if they leave prior to the final date of contract they must pay $1000-1500usd, prorated for time of service, for the work permits when they are provided no receipts or proof of cost for the work permits? Where are these work permits coming from?

Why are there Native teachers honoring their contracts and teaching yet they receive no legal working paperwork for up to 6 months after arrival? Education is the future of Indonesia, the future of all who live on our earth. The President of Indonesia, a few months ago, stated that the acquirement of the English language is a priority of this country. Why is the future of Indonesian students treated with such passive carelessness?

Why can a school like English First consistently market themselves as academic professionals when it is obvious to professional English teachers that they have no competence in the industry which they represent?


English First has spent 7 years in making themselves an “Image” name in Indonesia. A statement they proudly and repeatedly clarify in their operating manuals. And according to their operating manuals they are ONLY an image name in Indonesia. They are not an “Image” native teachers want to list on their CV’s because reputable other ESL employers find EF to be less then sub-standard in academic delivery. They are not an “Image” name on ESL teacher forums on the internet where they are blasted for management and academic incompetence on a daily basis. They are not an “Image” name amongst international ESL Academic’s such as TOEFL, TOEIC, IELTS and the de facto ESL accrediting agency, The British Council."

Here is a voice by a now employee of E.F.

Abused and underage said...
Not gonna give my name, because I am currently illegally employed by EF. Constantly finding myself frustrated. The worst part for me is that it is now nearly May and they've been holding my passport since FEBRUARY because they have to send it off to an "agent" every month to renew my social visa. I don't have a work visa, I'm not allowed a bank account in my own name, and I'm frustrated as hell. I don't want to leave, however, because I really want the end of contract bonus.
I hate that the first line on their website is about how they legally employ teachers.

This is just a statement made about E.F. in Indonesia.
