Whats the best Asian country for teaching English in?

Question:


Whats the best Asian country for teaching English in? I have a degree BSc Honours in Games Computing Software Engineering and been thinking to take a TEFL England certificate to teach abroad and been thinking what the best country to teach in is once I have the TEFL England certificate.

Japan, Korea, China, Kazakhstan etc. which one is best for teaching for salary, living conditions, meeting people, culture etc. any information would be useful.

I've been learning Japanese language and writing system and some Korean/Hangul, I'm far better at Japanese though, but I know no Russian.

Answer:


Traditionally it has been boom countries like Japan and South Korea but recently China has emerged as a new player. I taught in Japan for over 10 years and enjoyed the experience immensely.

Most recruiters for English jobs in Japan will require the following:

1. Native English Speaker
2. Full Bachelor Degree (in any field)
3. Basic Japanese Ability

The market is really competitive now so they also prefer teaching experience and qualifications such as ESL, TEFL or CELTA
