tips for ESL teachers

[Kathryn Howard]

Good idea Francis, as always.

I would additionally suggest that people seek model portfolios of master
teachers on the web. One good idea is to search for the personal
websites of well known TESOL professionals, or experienced teachers that
you already know. Those "in the know" often have on-line teaching
portfolios.
