ESL related Forums in/about Teaching English in Japan and Asia
Feel free to "talk" about the textbooks, or anything ESL in general.
There are many other forums listed on the web and here are some listed below:
http://www.ithinkimlost.com
( topic title: "Eigo Note is officially ruining elementary school")
*This is not really eigonoteblog.com's own view but for the sake of 'free speech' I've listed it here. The site www.ithinkimlost.com does have many interesting survival threads and is based on ESL in Japan and the JET program.
There's another web-based forum at:
http://englipedia.proboards.com/
( topic title: "elementary lessons based on Eigo Note")
Englipedia has been a long-running and outstanding resource for ALTs. The site, Englipedia, was created by an ALT, Patrick Bickford, for ALTs in ES, JHS, and HS. You'll easily find the link at the top of their forum.
These forums may be of some interest to you.
We have recently closed down our forums PHP section in favor of starting a new wordpress section which, hopefully, will be up and running very soon.
Forums are an excellent place to voice out your opinions espicially about the ESL situation in Japan. Please be assured your personal information and email will be kept absolutely private here at eigonoteblog.com
If you want to contribute tutorials, news, tips or other stuff please contact us. Your comments and submission of articles as well as International "Messages of Warm Welcomes" to the kids by 
Digital video and digital pictures will be highly appreciated and will receive an audio message of thanks from the kids. (The kids I teach would really appreciate your digital video messages about life and your surroundings from any place and any country. Showing them your side of the world would really open their eyes and provide inspiration for their English studies and further their education and views about the rest of the world.) "Arigato, ne!" (Thanks so much!)
