yeah these actually look like pretty good deals! round trip airfare as well as free medical, 30 hr work week, and free rent. also a lot of them say you get a severance pay but none really give any details on that.

Don't you have to know the korean language before teaching something to korean people?

so what he still said he'd have to finish school first right? Take korean the next year or two and really study it on the side but I have no idea how proficient you'd have to be in it.

It's weird cos I've had an interest in korea recently and I was thinking of visiting there. I have also met people who teach english in south korea, apparently it's real big business. I'd do it, definitely. Sounds good. After university.

no. They are taught english throughout their schooling and usually foreigners who go over to teach are teaching kids who have a year or two of classes or adults and don't have to speak a word of korean

the schools basically hire you as a marketing thing. It's common for parents to send their kids to things private institutions called 'hagwon' after their formal education and they're basically little micro-schools that offer additional classes(english, computers, music, math, etc.). It looks really good if they've got a native english speaker on staff and since there's a ton of them in any given area, it's like a little leg up on the competition.

that didn't make sense to me

that didn't make sense to me

-koreans are taught english at a young age.
-the classes you teach are filled with students that have taken at least a couple years of english.
-if you decide to go there, you're not required to speak a word of korean.

okay i get you
