NNEST Issues (Teaching English when English is not your native language.)

I strongly recommend The Student Centered Classroom by Leo Jones. It's a concise, practical, well-written, easy-to-read summary of some really valuable teaching principles! (We also have printed copies of most of these booklets in the 4-week cubicle.)
Videos, slideshows, etc. about teaching:

Videos, slideshows, etc. about teaching:
- http://oelp.uoregon.edu/shaping.html Shaping the Way We Teach English: A series of ESL/EFL teacher training videos from the University of Oregon.
- http://www.teachingchannel.org/videos The Teaching Channel: Videos about all aspects of teaching (not only English).
- http://eltinterviews.com/ ELT Interviews: Videos of interviews with teachers, scholars, and others related to teaching English.
- http://www.teachers.tv/ Teachers TV. Many videos about all aspects of teaching (not only English). (Teachers TV itself has ended after losing it funding from the British government, but there are links to other sites where you can still see the videos. Some of these sites won't let you see the videos unless you're in the UK, but others will. Try them all. This one worked for me: http://www.schoolsworld.tv/videos/.)
- http://www.edweek.org/ew/section/video-galleries/index.html?cmp=ENL-EU-TOPBOX Education Week video gallery. Mostly about K-12 education in the US, rather than ESL, but there are some interesting videos here.
