It's not clear to me why you're posting this, but your past confusion on a wide variety of topics only makes me assume the worst. For more information about LATIE and the other groups it's associated with, I recommend these posts from my website

Thank you Mr. Sommers for ending my "confusion". From this perspective the institutes international accreditation is not of great concern. The primary concern for the vast majority of TESOL teachers on Taiwan is if their TESOL certificate is accepted by the government on Taiwan for a visa application using a 2 year degree and a TESOL certificate. If so, 75$ US is not an unreasonable price.
Congrats on your weblog review.
Good luck!

Thanks for the info Scott. You have definitely done your homework.

Here is a link to a discussion here at Daves that Scott mentions in his article:

The people posting in that thread seem to equally skeptical.

Aristotle, do you have any information that would dispute the suggestions or possibly answer some of the questions being raised.
