The broad aim of NEAS is to establish and uphold high standards of service provision in English Language Teaching.
The purpose of the scheme is:
to set standards of quality in the provision of ELT programs and related services
to provide a professional judgment as to whether ELT centres meet and continue to meet those standards
In achieving our purpose, NEAS is:
Rigorous in its audit regime so as to sustain high levels of delivery of English language teaching;
Supportive of the industry through maintaining a role of offering external continual improvement advice to ELT centres;
Co-operative in its dealings with industry and government representatives when working to the benefit of the industry and its key beneficiaries, the students studying English;
Open in its willingness to learn and participate in the future of the industry and open to reviews and evaluations of its own operations.
NEAS also aims to develop quality in service provision of ELT centres by taking a professional development role in the ELT sector. Information sessions are at times offered by NEAS which are aimed at raising awareness of quality issues in ELT, and NEAS convenes an annual national conference for the benefit of ELT managers. This conference focuses on management issues typically facing ELT managers, with the content based on the needs of the participants.
