I've found I lack motivation of late, and was wondering if any of you fine teachers are familiar with websites that offer good expositions of teaching methodology.
I live in Inner Mongolia so actual books are rather hard to come by
Cheers!

What ages?

Teaching methods vary widely depending on age.

Can you tell us something about your educational background and certification type so we have a better idea of what to recommend? Depending on your qualifications, you may have already read some books which are readily available in English from amazon.cn

Hey Harbin, thanks for your response
I've got a non-education bachelor's degree (International Studies) and a bog-standard TESOL. I've read books about methodology before, and have had training workshops in methodology at my last job.

I suggest looking at this section of the TESOL site for a review of basics of methodology and the various readings, discussions and resources at the BBC / British Council Teaching English site.
