OK, so I finished the CELTA, and it was pretty awesome. Really learned a lot, and got a lot of ideas for a huge number of tools and techniques for teaching that I wasn't even aware of before. Hopefully, I'll be able to use these things in the future and it will open up opportunities. It seems like it will, but I'm getting quite a wide range of opinions from different people.
I've pretty much settled on Taiwan, and some people have recommended going there to find a job. I'm a little skeptical of this, but I've ruled out working for some of the places that recruit from abroad after doing some research. Perhaps I've been too hasty in doing so though, as working for a recruiter would probably enable to meet people who are hopefully like minded when I get there.
I considered Russia because it sounds like you can teach adults to start with, but I don't really have any contacts there, and thought it might be easier to start off with kids. The pay also seems to vary quite a bit from job to job and it the cost of living is higher. There do seems to be higher paying jobs but they seem to require more experience.
So Taiwan seems like a good place to get a foot in the door. The only question would be whether it's better to simply book a ticket and pound the pavement or apply from abroad. Having savings, it's tempting to go there and look for something, but again it might be better to save that money for training or something in the future unless there's a significant advantage to going there in person. |
You've already posted this on the Taiwan forum. |

| Well, there are the advertisements on this website (International jobs, I think, not China), also a list of language schools in Taiwan on Eslbase, so you could cold call with a cv/resume followed by a phone call. |
