For anyone who would like to form a study group (Skype, etc.) then this is the thread to post on. Any mentors or collaborators are welcome to join.
I haven't found any site like this in China so this is a good place to start.

I'll start by adding that after 10 years in Korea and 1.5 in China, I've finally buckling down and finishing my MA TESOL with University of Missouri Online (in-state). Feel free if you are a future or current student or an alumnus.
