The Growing Pains of the TEFL Industry
My take on another ajarn.com writer's column
In Blogs: Phil Roeland - 2nd February 2009
I can understand Steve's disillusion with someone he probably trusted and looked up to. I also think part of his criticism is justified; teachers, administrators, recruiters and policy-makers alike should question themselves and the industry they are in more regularly. I do not, however, agree with the overall image that Steve paints of the EFL industry.
