The TEFL Programme is the result of the collaboration between The Fundación Universitaria Iberoamericana (FUNIBER) and the Spanish and Latin American Universities listed below:

• Universidad de Jaén (España)
• Universidad de León (España)
• Universidad del País Vasco (España)
• Universidad de Vigo (España)
• Universidad de Mayor de San Simón (Bolivia)
• Universidad Laica Eloy Alfaro de Manabí (Ecuador)
• Universidad Santa María - Campus Guayaquil (Ecuador)
• Universidad Valle del Bravo (México)
• Universidad de Piura (Perú)
• Universidad Gran Colombia (Colombia)

FUNIBER has its origins in university projects for collaborative development set in the framework of UNITWIN-UNESCO and EU Chairs and Networks.

FUNIBER follows the conclusions of the World Conference on Higher Education in the Twenty-first Century: Vision and Action (Unesco, Paris, 1998), in which the need for intercultural education based on quality and international co-operation through university networks is proclaimed.

The currently available systems of communication, which facilitate, among other things, quality distance education, provide the universities with a means to extend their offer by bringing areas of higher social demand at the best academic level to the students. The way to preserve these extremes is found in the construction of University Networks.

FUNIBER has developed the TEFL programme, together with the collaborating universities, in response to the demand for continuous education and in order to encourage the ability to act in real contexts.

A team of teachers and specialists in English language teaching, Applied Linguistics and Foreign Language teacher training, is responsible for the making and actualization of the course content and have helped to develop a very comprehensive study programme, which takes into consideration the needs of each geographical area.
