I am looking to sign up for another year in Korea. I just got offered a job at Naju English Town. The job is through the Jeollanamdo Office of Education so it is the same contract thatmost public school teachers get, I am interested in hearing from people with info or experience working at English Towns/Villages. Did you like it? How does it compare to hagwon/reg. public school jobs? Thanks.

I see you didn't get much response to your post. From what I hear about "English Town" it's like they set up mock locations, like a bank or restaurant and then you "work" there and talk to your customers (the students) in English. I've never worked in an English Town, so I don't know how much fun, or work it would be. Sounds like it would be fun at first, but the hundredth time you say "may I take your order" may get old. The other concern is going to Naju. I guess you've read the posts about Naju. It's pretty small, not much to do there except go to the next big cities over. Being your second year here, maybe you're looking for small town life, but I'd probably try to get a job in a bigger city. Good luck either way and let us know how it goes.
