 |
|
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone had any information about teaching Spanish in Korea.
I have a Master's in ESL and a BS in Education - Teaching Certificate - 10+ years experience, the whole nine yards in English, and I'm obviuosly looking for English Jobs (university), but I also have a Master's in Spanish with 5+ years teaching experience etc...
SO, I was just wondering.....any chance my Spanish experience could be marketable?? |

Hi all,
Well first I must say that I have gotten a lot of good info. from the people that post here.
Thx.
I'm a bit sad that I haven't gotten any feed back on this issue.
I mean, not even a "forget it dude" or "no chance in hell" or whatever.
Oh well. |

| You might be able to work at one of the international schools, or a private high school. I know they sometimes hire native speakers of other languages besides English. Maybe try giving the Spanish embassy here a call- they might have some useful info. |

Get a job in Daegu, and I can pretty much promise you a paying class of way gooks for Spanish.  |

With your qualifications you should be looking to teach at a good university or good international private school - the latter pay well I hear. The best thing might be to ask them if they offer students (or would like to start offering students) Spanish classes, as well as English classes. Not that I've done any research on this, but for Korea I would assume English teaching is going to have to be your staple, with Spanish teaching as a sideline you could try to build up. |

| I think you'd definitely find a job at a university or a foreign language high schools...most offer Spanish as a course of study. I know that Daewon and Minsa offer Spanish to their students....too bad we don't at our school. |

Just a random thought.. Korea is negotiating a free trade agreement with Mexico, and already has one with Chile. Quisa hay trabajar (freelance) with companies that trade between the two companies in translation. No se, pero buena suerte.
