RationalWiki:Teflpedia

Teflpedia is "a wiki dedicated to everything associated with teaching English as a foreign language or  second language."

Articles that may be of interest to RationalWikians

 * Conversation questions on various topics, especially controversial ones. Try to grade language, and keep the questions reasonable, not too leading.
 * Examples; https://teflpedia.com/Religion_conversation_questions
 * Anything to do with English grammar, discourse, etc.
 * There are articles on things like science, pseudoscience , falsifiability , hypothesis , etc. Note that these should have an ESL-focus, rather than a general focus.
 * There are wacky "methods for language learning" that are out there.

Host to RationalWiki
It was owned at the time by RationalWikian Bob M. Being a veteran member of RationalWiki, Bob turned over the English-teaching encyclopædia to the mob for use during the 2009 August-September server crash. It subsequently became the most popular destination for RationalWikians during the crash, for which several reasons have been speculated:


 * It was fully owned by "one of the gang" who would not object.
 * It had no pre-conceived stance in respect of the issues in which RW is interested.
 * It was simply the first place people went when they had an offer.
 * The wiki is not highly active anyway, and in the summer it was even more quiet.
 * The website is wiki-based, and attracted the wiki-comfy users.
 * Everyone loves Bob.

Logo
The current logo - a mortarboard with "teflpedia" spelled out in phonetic symbols underneath - was created during the RationalWikians stay at Teflpedia with the help of some of the more technology-savvy RationalWikians. This and the associated favicon are now almost all that remains of the visit - the rest having being cleaned out over subsequent weeks.

Anything else?
It has nothing to do with frying pans.
