Getting a teaching job in Taiwan can be difficult and this is something people already know, but what some people forget is that moving to another country can actually be quite expensive. How much money should you bring to Taiwan so you can make your ESL career easier and smoother? As a general rule of thumb you should bring as much money as you can, because there are a lot of hidden startup costs you may not be aware of. Here are some examples of what you will end up spending your money if you decide to teach English in Taiwan. Everyone knows that plane tickets aren't cheap, but this is something most people prepare for. Something that don't usually prepare for is the costs associated with getting a place to live. It is very common that most places will require a 2 month deposit in addition to one month's rent before you can move into an apartment.teach english taiwan]]> taiwan teaching jobs]]> esl jobs in taiwan]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Teaching-English-In-Taiwan---How-Much-Money-Should-You-Bring-To-Taiwan/1561327 Wed, 15 Sep 2010 11:13:34 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Teaching-English-In-Taiwan---How-Much-Money-Should-You-Bring-To-Taiwan/1561327 ESL in Taiwan is currently undergoing drastic changes and the job market in the future will be nothing like it was in the past. This is not to say that finding work teaching English in Taiwan is impossible, but it does mean that the future for Taiwan and English teaching jobs does not look bright. One of the main reasons for this is the dropping population of Taiwan. Families are quite simply having fewer children and this has eventually trickled on down to affect both public and private schools. Each year less and less children enrole in classes and this means there is a dropping demand for teachers. This change in the demographics of Taiwan has resulted in changes in the work place for not only ESL teachers but educators of all kinds. In the past you would typically be given a class of 10 to 15 children and assigned a Chinese teacher to assist you with teaching. If there was ever a problem with the children understanding what you were trying to teach, the Chinese teacher would step in and quickly translate.teach english taiwan]]> taiwan teaching jobs]]> esl jobs in taiwan]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Teach-English-Taiwan---The-State-Of-Esl-Jobs-In-The-Future-In-Taiwan/1537265 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 03:30:32 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Teach-English-Taiwan---The-State-Of-Esl-Jobs-In-The-Future-In-Taiwan/1537265 ESL jobs in Taiwan are typically part-time. Most teachers end up working about 20 to 30 hours a week and typically work in the evenings. While this is much less than the typical 40 hour work week you might expect back home in a normal 9 - 5 job, it doesn't mean that teaching 20 hours a week in Taiwan isn't without complications. What many teachers end up discovering is that they put in a lot of unpaid hours, and typically end up working much more than the number of class hours they get paid for. If you aren't careful when looking for a job as an English teacher in Taiwan you may end up with one that has a lot of unpaid hours. So what is the number one complaint teachers have in regards to unpaid hours? The biggest culprit is time spent correcting homework and grading tests. Most cram schools leave out or do not go into much detail about the kind of work you have to do outside of your teaching hours. If you teach four hours a day then many schools will require you to spend at least one hour marking homework.teach english taiwan]]> taiwan teaching jobs]]> esl jobs in taiwan]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Teach-English-In-Taiwan---What-Hours-Do-English-Teachers-In-Taiwan-Really-Work-/1490929 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 00:36:23 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Teach-English-In-Taiwan---What-Hours-Do-English-Teachers-In-Taiwan-Really-Work-/1490929 Taiwan teaching jobs are considered lucrative and extremely easy to get, or so many people think. Perhaps ten to twenty years ago this was true. Back then the pay was high considering the cost of living in Taiwan and jobs were plentiful. You really didn't need any kind of experience or qualifications to be hired as an English teacher. Overtime this has changed and it is no longer the case. ESL jobs in Taiwan today have become extremely competitive and in high demand. So what is it like teaching English in Taiwan and how far will your wage go? Read on to discover what life is like as an ESL teacher in Taiwan today. The average pay for teaching jobs in Taiwan has not gone up over the last ten years. Most positions pay around 600NT per hour, which is approximately $18 - $19 USD per hour. This sounds good and considering that all you need is a Bachelor's degree I guess it is.teach english taiwan]]> taiwan teaching jobs]]> esl jobs in taiwan]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Teaching-Jobs-In-Taiwan---The-Absolute-Truth-About-The-Esl-Teaching-Market-In-Taiwan-Today/1482232 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 05:54:23 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Teaching-Jobs-In-Taiwan---The-Absolute-Truth-About-The-Esl-Teaching-Market-In-Taiwan-Today/1482232 Teaching in Taiwan isn't without its pitfalls and problems. Many schools and recruiters have only good things to say about working in Taiwan to potential employees. This isn't to say that none of it is true, but the best thing you can do before making the move to Taiwan as an ESL teacher is to fully prepare yourself in advance. Taiwan teaching jobs are all pretty much the same and you will find that most schools and bosses follow the same basic modus-operandi. Here is a quick look at what it is really like to work in Taiwan as an English teacher and some of the main problems you will face on a daily basis regardless of what city or school you work in. The biggest complaint most ESL teachers have in Taiwan is the complete disregard your employer will have for your personal opinion. This is part of the culture of Taiwan. Bosses are always right and they very rarely will take anything you say into consideration.teach english taiwan]]> taiwan teaching jobs]]> esl jobs in taiwan]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Taiwan-Teaching-Jobs---Frequent-Problems-Esl-Teachers-Face-On-A-Daily-Basis-Teaching-In-Taiwan/1478766 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 06:59:49 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Taiwan-Teaching-Jobs---Frequent-Problems-Esl-Teachers-Face-On-A-Daily-Basis-Teaching-In-Taiwan/1478766 If you are considering a move to Taiwan to teach English, then the good news is that there are a lot of schools and positions that are available all year round. This makes finding work as an ESL teacher in Taiwan fairly easy, but it isn't until you look a little closer do things not look so simple. Teaching English in Taiwan is a great way to explore Taiwan and earn a living at the same time, but what kind of classes or students will you teach? Japan, Korea and China have a wide number of private schools, colleges and universities that hire teachers, so getting working teaching adults, teenagers or children is easy to do. This isn't the case for Taiwan where there is one primary employer of foreign teachers, private schools. The main employers in the ESL industry in Taiwan are cram schools or more specifically cram schools for children. The bulk of the learning English market in Taiwan consists of children aged 6 - 12 years of age. Most other Asian countries have students of all ages wanting to learn English, but this isn't true for Taiwan.esl jobs in taiwan]]> taiwan teaching jobs]]> teaching english in taiwan]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Esl-Jobs-In-Taiwan---Find-Out-The-Truth-About-Teaching-English-In-Taiwan/1468061 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 07:02:38 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Esl-Jobs-In-Taiwan---Find-Out-The-Truth-About-Teaching-English-In-Taiwan/1468061 Sometimes, teaching English in Taiwan feels like a crime. Why do I say a crime? Do English teachers need to frequently break the law or do something else in order to teach? Of course not. The majority of language schools in Taiwan that offer English classes are privately run cram schools. These so called cram schools offer classes for children whose parents send them to extra classes after their day at public school ends in order to help them improve their English. Then why is teaching English in Taiwan a crime? Because, sometimes, teaching these classes can be so much fun and enjoyable that it is hard to believe that you can actually get paid to spend time with children while teaching them English. This isn't to say that teaching isn't hard work, sometimes it can be, especially if you have never taught English before and haven't ever tried to teach someone something. However, after sometime and the proper training, you quickly fall into a pattern at work. You know your students and they know you. You know their personalities and behavior and you know the best way to get across to them what you are trying to teach.teaching english in taiwan]]> teach english in taiwan]]> teaching in taiwan]]> esl taiwan]]> esl]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/You-Might-Actually-Enjoy-Teaching-English-In-Taiwan/861601 Mon, 07 Dec 2009 11:52:42 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/You-Might-Actually-Enjoy-Teaching-English-In-Taiwan/861601 If you are thinking about teaching English in Taiwan then there is always a demand for teachers. However, how long are most teaching positions? Are you thinking of making the move to Taiwan to teach for just a few months and looking for a summer position? While there are English summer camps held each year in Taiwan that offer students the chance to do other activities outside of what they normally do in class. However, the teachers who fill these positions are usually already in Taiwan and taken from schools where they are already working full-time. English schools typically hold summer camps each year. They usually run for three to four weeks and give students the chance to read stories, draw and just do other English based activities outside of what they normally do in class. These classes normally run in the mornings as parents still need to work but their children are on holidays and have no normal public school, so they are sent to English summer classes instead. If you are looking at just teaching a few months in Taiwan, summer camps aren't really the answer. Why is this?teaching english in taiwan]]> teach english in taiwan]]> teaching in taiwan]]> esl taiwan]]> esl]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Teaching-English-In-Taiwan---Esl-Summer-Camps/850423 Mon, 30 Nov 2009 10:24:34 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Teaching-English-In-Taiwan---Esl-Summer-Camps/850423 Thinking about teaching English in Taiwan and want to know what if any kind of training is provided by schools? Do you need any experience to teach in Taiwan? Do schools train you or help you in anyway? The majority of teaching work in Taiwan requires no experience and training is usually provided no matter where you work. Hoever, the difference lies in how much training is provided and the quality of the training. There is no standard that schools follow and the training you get at one school can vary greatly to another. If you don't have any experience teaching before don't worry. Schools primarily target university graduates when recruiting new teachers and they know these graduates usually have no experience in teaching. Why do they do this? some might say this is a bad thing, but from the point of view of the school that hires teachers it is good. Simply because it makes it easier for them to "train" teachers to use their materials and teaching style in class. Schools have a specific set system they follow and all teachers they hire need to follow this setup. This only applies for the cram schools throughout Taiwan.teaching english in taiwan]]> teach english in taiwan]]> teaching in taiwan]]> esl taiwan]]> esl]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Do-Schools-Provide-Training-For-Teachers-Teaching-In-Taiwan/848082 Fri, 27 Nov 2009 14:54:12 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Do-Schools-Provide-Training-For-Teachers-Teaching-In-Taiwan/848082 If you have ever thought of going abroad to teach English, Taiwan may already be one place that you have considered going to. The market for English teachers in Taiwan is large and it is relatively easy to find work anytime through the year. If you are thinking of coming to Taiwan then it may help to know in advance just what kind of students or classes you will teach. This will help you make the decision of whether or not teaching English in Taiwan is what you are looking for. While there are a large number of universities throughout Taiwan, the vast majority of jobs on offer are those from cram schools. Cram schools are probably the largest employer of foreign English teachers in Taiwan. Just what are cram schools? No matter where you go in Taiwan you'll see some kind of cram school. Taiwanese parents are obsessed with sending their children to extra classes after school. There are many different kinds of cram schools. Math, Science, Chinese and English are just a few.teaching english in taiwan]]> teach english in taiwan]]> teaching in taiwan]]> esl taiwan]]> esl]]> taiwan]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Teaching-English-In-Taiwan---What-Kind-Of-Classes-Will-You-Teach-/845463 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 19:44:59 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Teaching-English-In-Taiwan---What-Kind-Of-Classes-Will-You-Teach-/845463 If you are considering a move to Taiwan to teach English, then it is probably logical that you want to know what it is really like teaching in Taiwan. Taiwan is probably very different from what you may have heard or read about. TV shows portray Taiwan as a leading producer of high technology products and similar products. There is some truth to this but the majority of Taiwan is vastly different from what many people think it is. This can be seen in both the daily life and your work environment. If you want to come to Taiwan to teach English, it is a good idea that you first familiarize yourself with what daily life and your work environment are going to be like. The biggest shock to most people coming to Taiwan to teach is that of just how many people there are. Streets in major cities are crowded. The population of Taiwan is only 26 million but Taiwan is a small island and the majority of the population lives in three major cities. These results in streets being crowded with people, parking your motorbike or car can be difficult.teaching english in taiwan]]> teach english in taiwan]]> teaching in taiwan]]> esl taiwan]]> esl]]> taiwan]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Teaching-English-In-Taiwan---The-True-Experience/845372 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 19:06:51 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Teaching-English-In-Taiwan---The-True-Experience/845372 What is teaching like in Taiwan? Teaching English in Taiwan is a very interesting experience. Some people love it, some hate it and some just do it because they don't know what else they can do. Are you wondering how you might feel about being an English teacher? Do you want to know what teaching is really like without all the usual smoke and mirrors that recruiting agencies typically use to make jobs sound more glamorous than they really are? If you haven't ever taught English before, you may find out that it isn't anything like you expected it to be. This is especially true in Taiwan where the actual business side of how most schools are run takes precedence over actually educating children properly. Teaching English in Taiwan usually involves working 4 hours a day, Monday to Saturday. Work on Saturdays? Yes, that's right. Saturday work is the norm in Taiwan and you shouldn't really expect that you will find a job that doesn't have classes scheduled on Saturday. This doesn't mean everyone works Saturdays but the majority of English teachers do.teaching english in taiwan]]> teach english in taiwan]]> teaching in taiwan]]> esl taiwan]]> esl]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/What-Is-Teaching-English-Like-In-Taiwan/845044 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 12:32:43 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/What-Is-Teaching-English-Like-In-Taiwan/845044 How much money can I save teaching English in Taiwan? It is a commonly asked and an excellent question. However, the answer to it really depends on how long you'll stay, what qualifications you have and where you will live. Like any country, Taiwan can be very cheap to live or very expensive. The city you choose to live and work in will directly affect your ability to save money. Like most jobs, you might be paid the standard rate of pay or slightly higher if you posses some special qualifications. Are you just looking for an average teaching position or do you posses some kind of special qualifications that are in high demand? Also, how long you stay in Taiwan can affect just how much you end up taking home at the end of the month. English teachers in Taiwan make about $18 - $20 USD per hour. This is the average pay for the cram school teacher. Cram school teachers make up probably 90% of the foreign teachers you will find in Taiwan.teaching english in taiwan]]> teach english in taiwan]]> teaching in taiwan]]> esl taiwan]]> esl]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/How-Much-Money-Can-I-Save-Teaching-English-In-Taiwan/845038 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 12:29:20 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/How-Much-Money-Can-I-Save-Teaching-English-In-Taiwan/845038 Looking to travel as an English teacher? Asia always has an extremely high demand for English teachers and this is also true in Taiwan. This makes it very easy for any native English speaker with some basic education to get a job teaching English almost anywhere in Asia. English teachers are always in demand in most areas of Taiwan and traveling through Taiwan as an English teacher isn't that hard to do. Teaching English makes traveling easy as the contracts and actual work hours are usually very light and easy. Picking the best jobs in advance that suit your travel needs can make traveling and teaching English a reality. This also provides you with ample opportunity to visit the many exciting and interesting places in Taiwan. Most English teachers in Taiwan work four hours a day and many also work on Saturdays. While Saturday work may not be your idea of fun, there are many jobs that don't require Saturday work. The disadvantage of Saturdays aside, teaching English provides you with ample time to explore and travel around.teaching english in taiwan]]> teach english in taiwan]]> teaching in taiwan]]> esl taiwan]]> esl]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Travel-As-An-English-Teacher-In-Taiwan-/845035 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 12:29:03 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Travel-As-An-English-Teacher-In-Taiwan-/845035 It might not have crossed your mind before but teaching English in Taiwan at most schools isn't as straight forward as you may think. The many privately owned schools in Taiwan place great importance on the skin colour of the teachers they hire. This doesn't mean that you won't find any teachers who aren't Caucasian, but the majority of schools prefer to hire teachers with Caucasian heritage. Without putting it too bluntly, if you are a white teacher in Taiwan you have a much better chance of getting a job at one of the many common cram schools than if you aren't white. This is obviously racism, but schools and parents continue to support this way of thinking. If you aren't Caucasian does this mean you will be able to find work? No, but it does mean that you will have much greater difficulty in finding work compared to someone who is. Cram school owners want prefer their teachers to be Caucasian because there is a belief that white is healthy. While education at many schools is important, cram schools are still a business and they are in the business of providing an education to make money.teaching english in taiwan]]> teach english in taiwan]]> teaching in taiwan]]> esl taiwan]]> esl]]> taiwan]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Teaching-English-In-Taiwan---Does-Skin-Colour-Matter/844828 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 09:31:50 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Teaching-English-In-Taiwan---Does-Skin-Colour-Matter/844828 Can anyone teach English in Taiwan? There is a huge English learning market in Taiwan and as a result there seems to be a never ending demand for English teachers. No matter where you go in Taiwan you will see many so called cram schools which cater to providing children and teenagers with English classes. Getting a job teaching English isn't difficult, but there is often one over looked factor. Is age important when it comes to teaching English? Do cram schools prefer teachers who are young, old or do they not care? You might be surprised to know that age is very important when it comes to applying for any teaching position in Taiwan. Age is extremely important if you are considering making the move to teaching English. Why is it so important? The majority of schools where foreign English teachers work are so called cram schools. These schools provided English classes for usually a very young to teenage market. Cram school owners like to give parents a young and energetic image of their school and they wrongfully assume that only young teachers are able to provide this.teaching english in taiwan]]> teach english in taiwan]]> teaching in taiwan]]> esl taiwan]]> esl]]> taiwan]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Teaching-English-In-Taiwan---Is-Age-Really-That-Important/844827 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 09:31:24 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Teaching-English-In-Taiwan---Is-Age-Really-That-Important/844827 Thinking of teaching English in Taiwan in 2009? Taiwan is a popular destination for people looking to try their hand at teaching English in Asia. While Taiwan may not be as large as other countries, the cost of living and the rate of pay have always been considered favourable to anyone looking at moving to Asia to teach English. However, in 2009 and the years to follow this may change. Why is this? Teaching in Asia is becoming increasingly popular and over the recent years there has been an increase in the number of teachers looking and making the move to teach. This doesn't mean you won't be able to find work, but the teaching environment is slowly and will continue to change. The other obvious location someone might consider other than Taiwan is that of China. However, Taiwan has a much better standard of living and teachers get paid more than those working in China. The downside to this is that Taiwan is a relatively small country and finding work outside of Taipei can be difficult.teaching english in taiwan]]> teach english in taiwan]]> teaching in taiwan]]> esl taiwan]]> esl]]> taiwan]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Teaching-English-In-Taiwan-In-2009/844817 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 09:22:29 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Teaching-English-In-Taiwan-In-2009/844817
