TESOL Jobs in Taiwan



In terms of earning a good salary, Taiwan is one of the best locations in which to work. Hard-working teachers who are willing to work extra hours can expect to save much more each month than they would be able to in their home country.

TEFL jobs are available in state universities and bushibans, or private language schools. Bushibans can be found all over Taiwan and a large percentage of TEFL teachers find work at one of these settings.

As long as you have a university degree, a well recognized TEFL certificate such as that offered by TEFL International, and you are a native-English speaker getting a TEFL Job in Taiwan should be no problem at all.

Finding a TEFL job in Taiwan

Finding a job in Taiwan is very much like finding a job anywhere else in the world. You’ll need to seek out as many employers as possible and approach them—even if they’re not hiring. You can find most employers through listings on the Net, directories of language schools and online newspapers.

You should try to visit your employer’s campus and meet your bosses before accepting any jobs. Be sure to arrive to your interview in the same manner as you would for a job interview in the West.

While considering a job offer, be sure to have answers to all questions regarding rates of pay, salary and other benefits. Find out if you’ll have to travel to your lessons and if you get compensated and/or reimbursed for this time and expense. Ask about what kind of resources the school has for planning lessons and teaching materials, as well as what kind of administrative and collegial support you will have. This will help you avoid any unpleasant surprises after agreeing to take the position. Also, be sure to get all details confirming benefits written in your contract.
