r/ESL_Teachers is a subreddit with 18k members. Its distinguishing qualities are that the community is large in size.
A subreddit for teachers of ESL working in their home countries/English speaking countries.
Working in an English speaking country with non-native speakers is a whole different experience than working and teaching abroad. The goal here is for discussion of that experience along with lesson ideas and exchange. Also welcomed are the occasional rants and raves, material sharing, and discussions.
