I am aware that if one wants to work at a university in Taiwan you need an MA but a distance learning MA will not do....I am wanting to know if a distance learning MA will suffice to work in HIgh-schools and other non-universtity institutions or not? Also, is there anywhere in TAiwan where an MA can be studied like in TOkyo there is an American university etc....

Thanks

Elliot

I forgot, I know to wotk in a high-school you need a BEd or a PGCE therefre, will a MA in Education be ok or am I better of doing an MA in TESOL

A lot of local universities have English language MA programs. Not sure of their validity or acceptability outside of Taiwan, but they almost certainly will qualify for uni teaching purposes here.
