Management wrote the good reviews - Recensione dipendente - ESL Teacher presso Language Systems International

The Accreditation of English Language Training Programs Act was signed in 2010 and it required all schools offering ESL programs to be accredited by a federally recognized institution. Language Systems complied with this law and successfully completed the accreditation process. Therefore, ACCET accreditation is extremely important to all LSI employees since we have remained open and other schools have closed because they were not in compliance. We are required by ACCET to have an attendance and tardiness policy and we must strictly follow it. Our rules are not ridiculous or arbitrary. They are designed to comply with all state and federal regulations regarding foreign students studying in the United States. All teachers are instructed to follow the rules across the board and all students are expected to comply. Furthermore, LSI has been open since 1987 and we do care about our students and their progress. That is why we have developed specific programs and services over the years to meet the needs of our students. It is also why we are still in business and that many students have kept in touch with us as they progress in their English. Language Systems is extremely careful about level placement and moving students up to the next level. Language Systems has a specific policy that it follows when it comes to academic matters. These policies have been carefully designed for the benefit of students and all policies comply with accreditation requirements. What you said in your review is simply not the case. Language Systems has syllabi, books, and test banks for all of its classes. Teachers are not asked to make tests. In fact, teachers are required to use LSI’s tests. If there isn’t a test for a specific chapter in a book (if it has been misplaced or lost from the files), then the teacher can ask the Program Coordinator for a new test. Furthermore, there are plenty of supplemental materials for each novel that LSI has designed for its teachers and students. Everything has been prepared in advance to make teaching the novel as easy as possible for the teacher. Language Systems is not able to pay a high hourly rate or give raises on a regular basis. However, it does offer four weeks of paid vacation to both part-time and full-time teachers after one year of employment. We have had teachers who have stayed with us for several years for various reasons. Many like the work environment. Others like the four weeks of paid vacation. It is unfair to these teachers when you call this a “temporary” position.
