Comments on Dave's ESL cafe
Dave's ESL cafe is a rich site with several teacher forums, information on degrees and certificates, job search advice, descriptions of different types of ESL programs, student resources, and other links.
The feature that I find most useful is the forums. There is a wealth of great information and ideas--so much experience available at one's fingertips. The community is supportive and generous in sharing advice and knowledge. A teacher can find information on just about any aspect of language education, and there are a number of places where students can get enrichment also.
I researched this site quite a bit when I was deciding what type of master's program to pursue, and I have also used the search feature to find ideas for lesson plans, both for ESL and for foreign language classes.

I agree. I still go there a lot for quick ideas. However, I don't visit the forums as much any more because there are just too many folks out there up to no good. I'd make a post and 5 minutes later someone would jump on me. In this way, I think that the ESL Cafe is a victim of its own success.

Dave's ESL cafe is actually the first website related EFL/ESL when I was in SMU-TESOL. They have many great resources and getting popular. Especially in Korea, they are really popular. I bet everybody working in EFL will know the site. They do lots of resources that can be used in classroom.
