White Elephant,
The 2 tier-treatment is not just for Korea. In my university, the Japanese profs, teach less, have a third of the students and get 2 bonuses/yr equivalent to 5 months pay. The cleaning lady gets a bonus but the foreign teachers don't. Ouch! |

Some of the things I have to deal with:
1. Students who generally do not want to learn English and see no need to speak it.
2. Students who are generally very rude to their professors and refuse to cooperate when asked to do so. Don't even think of putting them in pairs because they will just speak the L1 and so loud that it drowns out the sounds any attept to speak English. |
White Elephant, could you please tell me what town you live in? I don't want to work there in the future. |

I don't know why anyone with a PhD would put up with it ...
When I first started in Turkey, the situation was the reverse with fully qualified local teachers getting paid a third to a half of the native speakers, many of whom had never set a teaching foot in a classroom in their life ... funnily enough some of those were 'professors' too! |

Sorry to hear that Gordan. I know the new foreign full time tenured hires at one of the unis I work at gets a bonus (he told me, though he also gets stuck with a lot of other duties). Me, I'm part-time, my only bonus is regular pay during the semester breaks and 1-2 meetings a year (and even those are not mandatory). |
