Korean Job Discussion Forums

Still nothing to go on, no mention of GEPT's, no stats. . .don't know who's better, although maybe this is asking the wrong question.

I do know, however, that after six years in Korea I've found things more smooth in Taiwan since I could run into far more people who can speak English fluently. Maybe that's it.

Maybe Korea outshines others in tests but not speaking. What do you think?

OECD is a widely understood term. Furthermore if you didn't know what it means, 5 seconds on a google search will give you the answer. I'll save you the trouble however.

About OECD

The OECD groups 30 member countries sharing a commitment to democratic government and the market economy. With active relationships with some 70 other countries and economies, NGOs and civil society, it has a global reach. Best known for its publications and its statistics, its work covers economic and social issues from macroeconomics, to trade, education, development and science and innovation.

The OECD plays a prominent role in fostering good governance in the public service and in corporate activity. It helps governments to ensure the responsiveness of key economic areas with sectoral monitoring. By deciphering emerging issues and identifying policies that work, it helps policy-makers adopt strategic orientations. It is well known for its individual country surveys and reviews .

The OECD produces internationally agreed instruments, decisions and recommendations to promote rules of the game in areas where multilateral agreement is necessary for individual countries to make progress in a globalised economy. Sharing the benefits of growth is also crucial as shown in activities such as emerging economies, sustainable development, territorial economy and aid.

Dialogue, consensus, peer review and pressure are at the very heart of OECD. Its governing body, the Council, is made up of representatives of member countries. It provides guidance on the work of OECD committees and decides on the annual budget. It is headed by Angel Gurr�a, who took up the post of Secretary-General on 1 June 2006.
