| Thanks for the responses. Just want to ask a few more things:
1. Are only the western countries like Australia, USA etc. considered English speaking countries? What about places like Singapore, where people are bilingual, but English is clearly the first language?
2. I read somewhere on this forum that Taiwan will not issue work permits for the purpose of teaching English to non-native English speakers. Is this a hard and fast rule regardless of how skilled someone is at English?
3. I am curious as to how teaching English works if the teacher does not know Chinese in a place like Taiwan. Wouldn't communication be difficult? I have been in a few language classes for German, and all were conducted in English. I cannot imagine how it would be like if the all the teacher knew was German.
4. Would being proficient in Mandarin help secure teaching jobs in Taiwan, English or otherwise? |
