Comment-I am hooked on this informative TEFLers self-help blog!

It covers a great range of English uses and teaching material that I found insightful for my status quo and also for me to teach English in a genuine and fun way in the future. Take this 'emaling articles' page as an example:

TEFLtastic - emailing articles

As I typed in 'email' in the searching box, this is what I got - A page offering both practical and fun information about emailing!

This page will direct you to either original articles and well-written articles on other website - both are easy to access and download!

Among these blog posts I found this 'Cultural differences in emailing' and 'Can emailing really be fun?' quite engaging, like a bonus that I would be interested to listen to when I was a student learning how to write an email (though I would not say I've matered the basic of emailing). I feel kind of unfair when I was not taught in school what email is really like before suddenly I'm asked to produce decent emails that are just crutial to mt self-image or future career! Reading more posts like this can (hopefully) make me a more confident email user.

As I mentioned briefly, it is easy to access and contains posts that both English users and teachers may find insightful. It is so dedicated to build an English teacher community to a sense that it seems to try to build a wall between outsider and teachers. The ubiquitous jargons are like signs saying, 'you must study these jargons first (learning resources provided!) before you are admitted to out loving family!' No wonder ELT jargon is so prominent in the tag cloud session!

Another point I'd like to emphasise is that this blog may not be very friendly to visual learners, as there is svarcely a picture in all the original posts!

Compared to another visually rich English learning website (BBC Learning English), I'm afraid this one might not seem so delicious to read (It's a shame that someone doesn't give it a look just becasue it doesn't have pictures).

Also, this blog might be much less overloaded if the home page contain only the latest 'latests' and the greatest 'greatest' instead of posting, nearly, ALL THE POSTS and calling them the 

Latest and greatest on TEFLtastic (excuse me for losing my temper). Seeing the abundance of content in this blog once again reminded me that learning English is not like picking items out of neatly categorised drawers; it's more like picking shells scatterd all over the beach.

I learned how to set up the basics of my blog from this video. Come and have a look!
