THE BLURB
The EFL industry is booming in Taiwan, so if you have a degree and a tongue, you should have no problem geting a job. Pay is good and there are some really beautiful areas that are worth visiting during your stay. Many teachers use Taiwan as a refuelling point for their finances. And of course, should you be there in Summer 2002, you can always pop across to Japan for a World Cup match - if that floats your boat....
On the downside, beware dodgy employers and going out to the island on a promise, or even on a contract. Use the available resources (below) to chat online to someone in the area you have been offered. Going with an agency that is reputable will save a lot of heartache (and cash) in the long run so don't be blinded by cushdy conditions. Some love Taiwan and some loathe it - it is one place for which the research really can pay off. One final point - when chatting online or asking questions via a message board, do your best to ensure that you are not being told great things about an organisation by a member of it with an unassociated email address...it has been known.
