I’m considering reviewing my English grammar and perhaps a few other things to improve my teaching. I’ve done some searches, but was wondering if anyone has online courses to suggest? I may consider related subjects as well that might improve my teaching skills.
I don’t know about actual online courses, but I learn a lot from websites I go to when I research a specific issue. For example, do a search for “first conditional” or “mixed conditional” and you’ll see some interesting websites. Many of these will have some of the most common issues for EFL teachers in a list.
Google a few of the grammar terms you want to learn about and you’ll soon find several good resources for a bit of independent study.
I would recommend the grammar sections at the onestopenglish.com website.
The ASK THE AUTHORS page answers questions from confused teachers. Scott Thornbury, one of the reigning gurus of language teaching, writes many of the responses, which makes it well worth reading:

The GRAMMAR REFERENCE FOR LANGUAGE TEACHERS section contains short articles on tricky aspects of English (relative clauses, present perfect aspect):

So, seen any good Woody Allen movies recently?
