Institutions are going under Intense Inspection Processes
Collaborating with the Council of Europe and many international organizations with common goals in language education, EAQUALS gives accreditation to foreign language schools with a multi-faceted evaluation in order to improve the quality of foreign language education worldwide, although it is based in Europe. Institutions that have entered the EAQUALS accreditation process have an obligation to prove that they are excellent at all stages of language education and training. In this context, institutions are going through an intense inspection process. The EAQUALS membership process brings together language education centers from more than 30 countries and many important national and international institutions that actively support language education.
Member education institutions accredited by EAQUALS consistently deliver a high standard of language instruction, meeting the language learning needs around the world. Established in 1991, EAQUALS provides consultancy to the Council of Europe on language teaching policies, and in accordance with its mission, provides international training and conducts research in areas such as curriculum, teacher training, assessment and evaluation, and school management.
