Sažetak
In these guidelines for developing EFL standards, TESOL utilizes its resources both human and material, accumulated knowledge, and experience in the field to create a new document, the sharing of which, and not exportation, is perceived as a positive result of globalization rather than of linguistic, cultural, academic, or educational imperialism. It is the result of TESOL International Association’s continuous work in the creation of teaching and learning standards. How this document resonates depends on the needs of diverse contexts. And guidelines is the key word in understanding and implementing it. The document suggests, does not mandate, parameters for adapting or creating standards that meet the needs of a global society but also takes into consideration local policies, ministries of education, universities, professional associations, and nongovernmental agencies (NGOs). However, neat solutions are neither easily found nor are they within the scope of this document. In other words, this document will neither have the lure of the panacea to guarantee success, nor will it represent a pandemic threat to the local context and academic freedom (Phillipson, 2009. The resource includes theoretical frameworks, organizational formats, and detailed recommendations for postsecondary institutions, government agencies, ministries of education, and other professional working in the field.
