Teacher Discussion Forums

I've just started an EFL Stories blog on Wordpress.com. If you'd like to share an anecdote about your experiences as an EFL/ESL teacher in the unregulated, shady world of private academies, summer schools, businesses, freelancing and other organisations, please feel free to do so.

You can find more details on the blog. This is the first place I've posted so you could be the first to share your story!

I actually joined this forum because of a bad experience with Leicester University. Their excuse for a distance learning course is fairly impossible without access to a good library, and they hardly lift their little finger to recommend books or sections of books that are actually useful when the books may cost 100 dollars a pop. Since all students are loaded, these left-wing heroes needn't worry about that, right?

They also preached all the nonsense I have complained about here over the last five years.

Summer schools have some excuse for being shady. The money making mills that pose as our "universities" - not so much.

Your blog is for you, Matt. This forum is for us. Share your pain right here guys. Power to the people! All hail comrade Sperling and libertarian comrade Lorikeet!
