My partner and I taught in China for 6 months last year and we are now thinking of travelling to Taiwan to do the same. Alas, I have no degree, although my partner does.

Australia has recently made an agreement with Taiwan whereby members of each country can visit the other, for a period of up to one year. During the year, you can work to supplement your travel expenses for up to 3 months at a time for the same company. After this you must change to a new employer if you wish to continue working.

Now, I can't imagine that English has come so far in Taiwan, that there are westerners working at local restaurants to supplement their travel costs. I can only assume that you are expected to teach while you are there. BUT, is this not in conflict with the strict requirements currently in place which allow you to enter Taiwan and teach normally?

If anyone has travelled to Taiwan on this new Working Holiday Makers Visa and taught, could you please pass on some advice.

Kind regards,

Elle

PS. I spell travelling and travelled in this way because it is the British/Australian English standard. There may also be other variations in my spelling that you are not familiar with, because you may have only been taught the American standard. Please do not tear me apart like that poor person �polska� in the "ADVICE NEEDED" thread.

I am asking only for advice on the above subject if you have any, not for open criticism on my spelling and grammar.

Thank you.
