Nice article about foreign language instruction and ESL at this New York high school

Teflpedia is an award-winning wiki dedicated to everything associated with teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) or second language (TESL). Our objective is to become a major user-generated resource for English teachers from all over the world. We opened our doors on 27th May 2008 and we've been growing ever since. [This looks very interesting...and I'm already a big fan of wikis.]

I love the idea of this. Looking forward to checking it out.

Wow, what an awesome resource! Can't wait to use it!
