You may see from the details in list of ESL-related theses I have supervised that the students were from all over the world. And the school i was working for and where they got their Master degree from was our college in Kenya with several branches in other countries that was given a university charter by the Kenyan Ministry of Education. I am one of the co-founders of this school and was working for it full-time from 2004-2011 (and then only part-time from 2011 - 2014) as a volunteer.

It's all a bit like Christians proving the verity of the Bible and that God exists. They usually find the proof by cross -referencing that a truth is a truth in the New Testament because it tallies in some way with what is written in the Old Testament. Of course the same type of weird old men had read the Old Testament before writing the new one. Who supplied the detailed list to which you refer? Did you by any chance? Having said that, I am not saying you have not done a lot of what you say you have; but there's no proof, is there? And the Chinese claims are stretching things a tad; is that true?

When we talk about free degrees issued in Africa somewhere(run by an ex non-native speaking ft) for English, I am sure they are all legal and would just about get you a job at some rubbish outfit in China; but you can forget about the good schools in China. And teaching English in The UK would be a pipe dream. Is that a fair assessment?
