I am compiling an index of posts in Teaching for the archives. One entry will be for Newbies, and another for Resources.

I have already come across Mike Turton's site, and have a few others.

I would be grateful if members could post here any sites they know of about teaching that are specific to Taiwan, and that would be (a) useful to newbies; and (b) contain resources useful to teachers in Taiwan.

Try Hall Houston's page on Teaching English in Taiwan:

http://www.geocities.com/allhou/teachtai.htm

Also, the EFL in Asia website's long list of links:

Try Bob's www.savageland.net

Here's another one I came across:

www.orxil.com

It's not just for Taiwan, mainly Asia.

www.tealit.com

All about teaching EFL in Taiwan: job listings, housing ads, visa info, message boards, links, etc.

Should this fella be banned for posting this link?

:P

The Teaching in Taiwan archives already provide a link to tealit.com.

I'll recommend my own: ESFIT - English Speaking Foreigners In Taiwan. Not much now but I'm in the process of data mining and compiling data every possible data resource that will help a new comer to the island. The focus will be on writing up my own articles. So far my free ISP list is probably the biggest asset in the forum. And my review-a-school forum should help people know what they're getting into.

Hopefully you'll get more than three or four reviews.

The teaching English in Taiwan page of my website has a lot of useful links and some information as well. I also put my thoughts about TEFL/TESOL certification online, too.

onestopenglish.com has lots of useful resources for English teachers including lesson plans and activities. efl4u.com has free English teaching worksheets online.
