I've heard of some universities that have a limit on the number of years that an foreign English lecturer can work there.
Does anyone know of any universities that have this? I'm particularly interested in universities in and around Seoul, but info about unis outwith this area would also be interesting (and perhaps beneficial to other posters).

If you don't want to post publicly, then feel free to PM me.

National unis tend to do it more. Network with the area you want to work - don't expect daves ESL cafe to do it all for you..

Thanks to both of you for the replies.

drydell - I am indeed trying to network and gain as much information from people as possible, but there is more than one way to skin a cat. Hence the reason for posting here.

atwood - contacting the existing lecturers is a good idea. I will start doing that more when the offers start coming in.

Thanks again to both of you for you advice.

As Atwood explains, universities are arbitarary and unfair when awarding contracts to foreign teachers.

And this must change. Korean universities must start to offer parity in terms of compensation, working conditions, benefits, etc., according to one's qualifications.

Currently, Koreans discriminate and treat foreign instructors as a lower tiered academic entity, people who do not deserve the samne compensation, social benefits or job security as Koreans.

This is unnacceptable.
