How would one find out how to contact the foreign teachers at these schools? |
Pretty simple really...ask the school for contact details of current or former teachers |

Yep, that sounds pretty simple. But this forum has got me paranoid that they would give me contact information for somebody that has an agenda, meaning I wouldn't really be put in contact with the foreign teachers. Man......why am I even thinking that way? |

| I could be wrong, but I think the worse treatment is more likely to be in the big cities as the directors may be a bit more jaded with foriegners. Also, It's more difficult to attract teachers to the country-side, where as foriegners are two a penny in Seoul. My boss has had trouble trying to get somebody to replace me when I leave in 2 weeks. My friends and I have all been treated very well in Namchang and all have very decent apartments. |
Repeat above! I live Jinju. It's been a place. I leave the end of June and I'm frustrated with trying to find a replacement too. Seems like everyone only wants to live the fast life. |
Jinju is a good place to soend a year or two. I know, because I did it. But after that, Jinju gets a bit boring. And although I love the town, there isnt a way I would ever go back to live there. Its just too quiet and I need to be in Seoul. |

Once in a while that happens, but it's pretty easy to spot an e-mail from a non native speaker, never mind a phone conversation. Of course they'll give you the contact info for teachers that had a good experience, but that's only to be expected |
