Teach English Abroad: Teach in Korea

Living in Korea

South Korea is a rugged and beautiful country covered with mountains and completely surrounded by the seas. Its people are some of the warmest and most generous on earth. South Korea has an ancient culture filled with customs but continues to be a fast paced country on the cutting edge of technology. There is little crime in Korea- people leave their cars running, house doors unlocked and goods out in the open.

If you are a respectful guest in their country you'll quickly learn that Korea is an amazing place-a land of song, beautiful temples, misty mountains, calm seas and warm, caring people. Take advantage of this opportunity and you will be rewarded with memories that will last a lifetime.

Teaching in Korea

The most common and popular choice for prospective ESL teachers are the private "hogwans" (ESL teaching institutions). The typical hogwan runs from 3:30pm to 9:30pm, Monday to Friday. The earlier classes consist of young children. As the day progresses, your classes will be made up of older students. Elementary school teaching revolves around stories and games, while the older kids participate in conversation classes. Qualified and experienced teachers may find employment at universities. Universities offer shorter teaching hours and long holidays but require far more effort in the way of marking and preparation.
