Introduction

We assist both qualified professional teachers and unqualified amateur teachers find jobs teaching in Asia by taking people step by step through contacting employers, getting hired, visas, travel and settling in once in Asia. Information includes extensive lists of recruiters and employers for TESL, TEFL, ESL and other subjects. We also offer detailed advice and Guides to living and working in various Asian countries, all from people who have actually lived and worked there. The majority of jobs are in the Asia Pacific countries of Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, Thailand, China and Hong Kong. Later we will be adding assistance for Malaysia, Indonesia and other destinations Almost all the jobs for amateur teachers are teaching conversational English and ESL. Positions for qualified teachers include all subjects. There are also positions for experienced and qualified education administrators and specialists.

There is a lot of information about living and working in various Asian countries in what follows as well as a good deal about Asia Facts Unlimited and how we help people who are interested in travelling, living and working in Asia Pacific. See the Table of Contents above for a quick reference and hypertext links to what this page offers. Almost all of the information is in one file so you have the option to either use the hypertext links or simply scroll through the document viewing each section in sequence.

Although Asia Facts Unlimited began our service in 1992 and we are in our 14th year, we still make the odd error on our web site. If you encounter any problems with links or other aspects please let us know. We will periodically update these pages as conditions for living and working in the various Asian countries change and as we add more countries to our list of Guides.


Imagine

Imagine a job market where there is always a shortage of people with your qualifications, the hours and pay are very good, you have your choice of job offers, respected status and the opportunity to travel and see the world. Permanent, full time, part time, short-term and summer jobs are all available. Sound good? That's the opportunity we enjoyed as conversational English teachers in countries throughout the Asia Pacific! With our help you too can take advantage of this unique opportunity to travel and teach English in Asia. Teaching qualifications and experience are not necessary for ESL jobs and the international experience and contacts dramatically enhance career opportunities.

In addition, as Asian nations continue to take a more active role in international trade and global affairs, opportunities are opening up for foreigners in other professions. Many people take the opportunity to teach English in Asia and after they establish contacts are able to work there in other professions such as writer, editor, translator, finance, computers, law, science, advertising, photography, modeling and even art and music. Qualified teachers can teach not only English but are hired by schools, colleges and universities to teach other subjects and to fill administrative positions.

Why Asia Needs Both Professional and Amateur Teachers

Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea and Singapore have all become economic giants in the last twenty years but have few natural resources and must focus on international trade for continued success. Thailand is not far behind and the People's Republic of China has the potential to become a world economic leader. English is the international language of business, diplomacy, mathematics, literature and science and is therefore an indispensable part of the future for all these countries. Many Asians study English grammar and vocabulary in school but most have virtually no ability to speak English. Conversational English skills are a tremendous advantage in the work place and in the fierce competition for places in prestigious national universities and Western schools. Millions of students of all ages and occupations attend extra classes at private language schools or take courses in conversational English through their employer. As a result, there is a multi-billion dollar English language industry and a huge demand for conversational English instructors throughout Asia.

Employers prefer "native English speakers" from Canada and the U.S. because they teach "conversational" English needed to converse with Western people. The direct method of language training where only English is spoken in class is often used so knowledge of the host country's language is often not necessary.

Japan has the largest demand for English language instructors in the world with thousands of schools and corporations hiring English speaking foreigners for more than 10,000,000 students of all ages who study conversational English. There are now about 7,000 foreign English instructors in Japan alone. Many have no teaching qualifications, training or experience and plan to teach there only temporarily.

There are thousands more "native speaker teachers" in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea, and Singapore, most teaching for one year or less. The demand for ESL teachers is also growing by leaps and bounds in Thailand and China. As a result, schools and corporations must constantly replace English speaking staff and there is always a shortage of foreigners to teach conversational English throughout Asia. It is also very common for travellers to teach for the summer or 1 to 3 months at other times of the year in one of these countries to save money as they work their way around Asia. Students are of all ages and occupations: preschoolers, primary, secondary, college & university students, housewives, business people, professionals, etc., and even some senior citizens.

Teachers also come from all age groups from age 18 to 65 (most are under 40) and couples with both partners working are common. Schools hire both full time and part time teachers. Many teachers increase income with lucrative private tutoring of wealthy professionals and businessmen in their spare time. Established private tutors make C$45.00 (US$33.00) to C$100.00 (US$73.00) per hour. Western educators are respected the world round and qualified teachers from North America are recruited by primary and secondary international schools and by colleges and universities throughout Asia and in other countries around the world.

In the above paragraph and what follows, "C$"=Canadian dollars and "US$"=US dollars.

Contract Terms

Contract terms vary with location but most of what follows applies to all countries. Salary figures are for Japan where teachers earn the most but in all countries full time ESL teachers are paid on a level with professionals, well above the cost of living. Schools and corporations hire at all times of the year. When they hire for six months or more they sponsor the instructor for a work permit. Classroom hours are usually 20 to 25 hours per week, normal salaries range from C$3100.00 (US$2250.00) to C$4600.00 (US$3350.00) per month, benefits often include a bonus of one month's pay on completion, air fare, health insurance, transportation costs and assistance to find accommodation if you sign a one year contract. Some schools even provide accommodation and/or the use of a car.

Taxes are relatively low in all countries. Most have no sales taxes, income taxes are usually under 10% and in Korea teachers’ salaries are often tax exempt.

When instructors are hired for summer jobs or a few months at other times of the year they work on one of several types of short term visa. Visa requirements vary from country to country. It is also possible to work part time to pay expenses while you are visiting the country. Pay ranges from C$800.00 (US$575.00) to C$1200.00 (US$875.00) per week or C$35.00 (US$25.00) to C$55.00 (US$40.00) per hour. Benefits include transportation costs, health insurance and assistance to find accommodation.

Schools provide classroom workbooks, teaching aids and training. You are not expected to speak their language and other teachers can assist you to settle in. Often foreign teachers are assisted by local teachers in the classroom.

Qualified teachers are in short supply, so professional teachers with certificates and/or experience often command even higher salaries and elite positions at ESL schools. There are also jobs available in primary and secondary international schools, colleges and universities where qualified teachers can teach other subjects as well as English or work in administrative or support positions. These jobs offer benefits and higher pay than the ESL jobs noted above. For a list of recruiters, agencies and others who assist qualified educators, see "Worldwide opportunities" for qualified teachers, administrators and specialists.

Do You Qualify?

Teaching qualifications and experience, though helpful, are not necessary to teach ESL because the demand for teachers is so high and most conversational English teachers in Asia had none when they were hired. Although schools look for teacher training and experience, they often cannot find it and other schools prefer no training and experience, preferring to train you in their own proven methods. Most important is a helpful, friendly attitude, reliability and sincerity. Government schools and many private schools ask for a college degree (any discipline will do), however many conversational English teachers have no degree because the demand for instructors is so high and the attitude is that any native English speaker can teach one's own language. Those with qualifications and/or experience often make more money but are in short supply, hence the demand for amateur teachers..

Who is Asia Facts Unlimited?

Asia Facts Unlimited is a company registered in the State of New York and with Companies Branch, Ontario Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations in Ontario, Canada since February 1992. We publish and periodically update books and information on Asia compiled by Canadians and Americans with combined experience of 16 years living, working and traveling in Asia. Many of those years were spent teaching English in Asia. Some of our contributors are still teaching there. We had no teaching qualifications, training or experience before we were hired. Teaching English was a tremendously exciting and rewarding experience which allowed us to save money ($1000/mth) while gaining experience as teachers, learn about Asian cultures, make lifelong friendships overseas and visit other exotic parts of Asia. After we established contacts it was also possible to work there in other professions.

How We Help You

Before we started out our biggest problem in getting a teaching job in Asia was knowing what to do and where to apply. We had heard there were two ways to find an employer ((a) contacting schools and (b) contacting corporations which teach English to their employees), but there was no list or directory of schools or companies to contact and nothing to advise us on how to begin the process and work through it until we had a job and were settled in Asia. As a result it took us months and a lot of effort and ingenuity to contact even a small number of employers. We also had very little knowledge of living and working conditions in Asia and had to learn expensive lessons by trial and error.

When we returned home we decided to solve this problem for other adventurous souls. Using our personal knowledge and contacts in Asia we first created two new books on working in Japan which are unique and indispensable to anyone who wishes to work there, providing the information you need to succeed, solving the problem of who to contact, saving months in job search time, providing comprehensive details of work and life in Japan, how to land a job and how to save money on travel/living expenses.

Our books on Japan were first available in March of 1992 and were so well received that we expanded and updated later editions. The 1999 edition (our 6th edition) is our most complete. We also offer Supplements providing information on employers, living/working conditions, contract terms and visa information on Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, Thailand and China. "How to Live and Work in Japan - 1999 Guide" contains much valuable information on how to land a job, choose a good employer, get private tutoring jobs, save on travel/living costs, teaching tips and other information on life in Asia. This information, not available in the 1997 Supplements, is also very helpful if you are living and working in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea, Thailand, China or Singapore. For this reason, many people interested in other countries also buy the Japan Guide for the advice it contains on so many topics.

Coming Attractions

Currently we publish Guides to Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand and China.

We are also working on materials for Malaysia and Indonesia. We can't say exactly when they will be ready because it depends on the speed with which our contacts in those countries can gather, verify and update information. It also depends on how much time we can devote to new materials in the next few months. We will not offer any material until we are satisfied it is accurate, current and helpful. We hope to be able to complete Indonesia and Malaysia Guides in the future. We do not have time to answer questions about when new materials will be ready but will update this page periodically to advise when you can expect the new Guides. Stay tuned! Visit this page now and then for an update.

We have had discussions with veterans of teaching in Central and South American countries and are considering a joint effort to produce materials on some of those destinations but, given our time constraints, that project will probably have to wait until next year.

We are interested in hearing from you about which countries you have the most interest in . We will give the most popular countries priority and try to complete Guides to them first. Although we will not have time to answer your questions on other countries, we would like to hear your preferences by email. Click here to send email to us on this topic.

How to Get Quality Information about Asia on the Net

A word to the wise. When looking for information on the net or elsewhere you should follow these simple rules:

(1) Always ask when the information was last updated and whether it was done by people on site in Asia. Publications on working overseas can become quickly outdated. Updating is very time consuming and not everybody does it regularily.

(2) Be wary of services which don't give you much hard information on the net, but want you to telephone for more information. It is very easy to provide plenty of details on a web site. If they do not do that it may be because they would rather give you a sales pitch over the telephone and sell you something before you have a chance to see what you are getting.

(3) If there is a guarantee involved, make sure you see that guarantee in writing before you spend your money.
