A few days ago a fellow English teacher wrote to find out if she could be added to the Tweepl list linked in the ELT Guide to Twitter post and early this evening I had two more similar requests.
And suddenly, it hit me... kind of like a comet zooming in from out of the Twitterverse... that I'd created the first list way back in August 2009 and since that time, many, many, many more ELTers have since joined us on Twitter.
And, as Tweepl is such an incredibly easy way to follow a whole bunch of people, in a specific niche, at a single click, I've decided to start up another list: an open-ended one so if you find that your name isn't on the original one nor on this one but you are an English language teacher and you'd like to connect with others like you, simply do the following:
In the comment box below or via DM on Twitter, write ALL of the following
- your name
- your name on twitter (or @someone else who you know but who's not yet on the lists)
- your twitter id/ url
- Please also confirm that you are in ELT: ESL/EFL/ESOL etc
as this list isn't a general teachers' list: thanks for understanding!
*and if you're a blogger, do add your blog url too as I can keep track of your posts for @BloggersELT
e.g.
Karenne
@kalinagoenglish
http://twitter.com/kalinagoenglish
http://kalinago.blogspot.com
I'll then pop on over to twitter to check that the above information is correct and if it is, I'll add you :-)
Karenne
n.b. Please note that as I will be personally recommending real English Language Teachers to other real English Language Teachers who are on the site in order to develop professional and personal friendships there, no tweeters with corporate brand management identities as their profiles nor those who fill the stream with endless links towards commercial sites will be included within my list.
Thank you for your understanding on this issue.

Thanks for this resource!
Wow, I was amazed to find I was on the original list! There must NOT have been that many of us out there at the time, lol!
Seriously, I just found some great new teacher types to follow thanks to the original list. Looking for the new one!
