Does anyone have any information about this organisation? They are offering positions in the RSAF and Defense Language Institute English Language Center (DLIELC), Dhahran.


Any information is appreciated.

I suspect a Nigerian scam. Be wary.

They have just posted the position in www.tesol.org, so I doubt it's a scam. I also googled them and they have a website.
