 |
|
| I have been teaching actual American-equivalent English classes and am thinking about changing jobs. I do not want to go back to teaching conversation classes or hagwon-style lessons, but rather I would like to keep teaching literature and higher-level English classes. Very few schools seem to have an opportunity to do this. Does anyone know where I could find these kinds of jobs? |

Qualified Teacher Status (home country certification with license) with more than 2 years of classroom experience = look at the IB/international schools (google them).
Related MA/PhD = look at "English Major" university programs.
No QTS = good luck.

Sounds interesting.
When you mean at a higher level do you mean like highschool?
Do any places teach elementary level stuff?
Cheers,

So international/IB school is off-limits if you don't have teacher certificate at your home country... even if you have decent experience teaching in Korea?
Darn. I thought TESOL or master's degree in education would be sufficient. |

The internet is probably the best thing.
