Overall best place to teach english in Asia?
Overall best place to teach english in Asia?
I am a 23 year old male from toronto and i am looking for input on teaching english in asia. I will have my BA come may, and i am looking for an experience while being able to eliminate some student loan debt. In your opinions what would be the best place to have an enjoyable time while saving some money. I am more confortable with city life so i do enjoy city centers and nightlife. Also, in these places what realistically could i save, if spend what the average teacher would. Thus far i have looked into Taiwan, Japan and Korea, so any other advice on these places would be greatly appreciated.

Wow. Good question! I have been teaching in Prague for the past year and I love it. It is a really fun career choice. When you are looking at the average salaries, make sure to compare it with the cost of living in that particular country. For example here in Prague the cost of living is really low - so the salaries seem low...but I make good money. First of all, you should know that in order to teach EFL in any Asian country, you will need a TEFL Certificate. The schools there will require a BA, and a TEFL Certificate in order to even consider you as an applicant. If you do not already have yours, I recommend going to my Alma Mater....TEFL Worldwide Prague. It rocks. I loved it! ;) So... if it's good nightlife and good money you are after, then I suggest going to So. Korea. You will probably be set up with an apartment and a good salary that will allow you to save quite a bit of money. A friend of mine is teaching there right now and says it is really fun - good clubs and nice people. Japan is also a good place to save money, and has tons of job offers. Getting a job there in a big city would be easy. But again, they will require TEFL cert and a BA. Good Luck!
