Post new topic

Is it possible to teach English in Taïwan with the TELF diploma being fluent in English (CAE diploma for English level) but not native?

Hi Segolene CM88,

I moved your topic on the English speaking Taiwan forum.

Good luck,

The teaching of English as foreign language in Taiwan is a hyped racket selling 99% hope and self-delusion to Taiwanese who are gullible enough to believe that adults can learn English from scratch, as well as to children of parents who have high hopes. The harsh truth is English is not popularly used in Taiwan to deprive students of necessary opportunity to practice. Language schools are interested in making money and will hire just about any English speaker as long as students enrol. Good luck.
