TDF is Teacher Development
Forum (or Teacher Discussion Forum if you like).
TDF is a group of ESL
teachers in Beijing who get together on a regular basis to talk, discuss, meet
and generally share common interests and experiences involving the teaching of
English as a Second Language.
Members of TDF have a wide
range of teaching experience which includes teaching younger ones, teaching in
regular schools and language schools, tutoring individuals and giving corporate
English training to companies. Many of the members are also involved in non
teaching aspects of the English language such as copy editing, writing books,
curriculum planning and more.
TDF is a way to connect, get
to know others in the field. It’s a hub for networking and finding teaching
jobs (and teachers). It’s a small gateway to teaching in Beijing and China. TDF
can be a great help to new teachers or teachers that have just arrived in
China. By asking fellow members, others may have lived the same situation you
are having and offer some guidelines (from food to visa applications).
TDF, in its 6 years of
existence has hosted regular discussion forums regarding teaching issues, given
teaching workshops to hundreds of student teachers and held a mini-seminar on
teaching in China.
