Teach English in Taiwan - A Rewarding Job Experience
ESL teaching abroad opportunities in Taiwan
Ancient temples, modern bustling cities, speeding motorcycles, stinky tofu and
beautiful coastal beaches are just a small part of the unique lifestyle
you will find in Taiwan. Taiwan is a country of contrast, where cutting
edge modern conveniences belie the traditional culture which remains
strong beneath the surface. There are many opportunities for adventure
on the Isle Formosa. From discovering the Taiwanese night markets of
the cities, to hiking on Yangminshan, to lounging on the beaches of
Kenting, there is a lot to explore. If you want to immerse yourself in
Chinese culture, while still having all the modern conveniences
available, a teaching English job in Taiwan is for you!
We currently work with a large amount of client schools offering ESL
teaching jobs in Taiwan. Your salary will be more than enough to

Whether you are a fully certified teacher, a recent University graduate, or
just looking to change your current job and career path, teaching English in Taiwan may be just what you are looking for! If you have a passion for other cultures and enjoy being around
children, there is no better way to experience life in another culture.
In Taiwan, you will be teaching English to Taiwanese children anywhere
from age 4-15 years old. While teaching English in Taiwan, fun and
games are emphasized! If your students learn without knowing they are
learning, you can truly feel you have done your job as their English
teacher.
Typical Job Duties as an ESL Teacher in Taiwan
As you teach English abroad in Taiwan, your job duties will include the following:
- 20-25 in class teaching hours per week
-
10-15 office hours per week. This will primarily be spent in the
preparation of lesson plans. Your school will have materials for you to
use during your preparation.
While this might not seem like a demanding job, being in front of a
classroom full of children can be a demanding challenge. It takes
careful preparation and real caring for your students. On a day to day
basis, part of the teacher's job is to prepare lesson plans. An active
and interesting classroom atmosphere is always encouraged! For example,
the use of visual aids in class is extremely important. As you teach in
Taiwan it is very effective to have the students attribute an English
word to pictures. When a child sees a picture of an animal or tree, it
transcends all language barriers. In these ways you will always be
challenged to "think outside the box" while you teach English in
Taiwan. In addition to your time spent in the classroom you will
administer tests, grade papers and participate in school meetings with
your Chinese teacher peers.
