|
|
I�m currently teaching English in Taiwan, but may be forced to leave because I can no longer get a work visa. I�m thinking about going to Vietnam.
I�m Dutch, 36 years old, I have a masters� degree in psychology, 5 years teaching experience and by the time I leave Taiwan I will probably have a certificate Teaching English to Young Learners. I�m a dedicated teacher, I�m doing it because I love it, not just for the money.
What I�d like to know is:
1. Is it easy for a non-native speaker to find a teaching job in Vietnam?
2. Can I work legally as a non-native speaker? If not, is that a big problem?
3. Is it possible to open a language school as a foreigner in Vietnam?
4. I�m primarily interested in teaching elementary aged students. Is the market in Vietnam comparable to Taiwan (a lot of children�s classes and only a few adult classes)?
5. Is Vietnamese society tolerant towards relations between Vietnamese girls and foreigners? |
