I found that most of foreign English teachers are upset about
new visa rule. It is too severe for the teachers.
What do you think?

I found that the articles as below:

The time will come when we don`t have to depend on foreign teachers that much," said an English teacher in Seoul, requesting anonymity.


I LOVE my Korean co-workers, but this made me laugh.

One of my co-workers can't speak a lick of English. I think he's actually a linguist that they really wanted but had no other place to put him than in the English department because we don't have a linguistics department.
