Did this in Paris back in 2001, ok experience while I waited for another job (no patience to teach!).
I have tons of info available, mainly from the following magazine:
www.fusac.fr/en
Copies should be available at the French consulate on Bloor St.
Canadians can get a 1 year working permit for France without any employer sponsorships so u can go look for a job there.
Tons to tell u about which I don't have time to write abt, let me know and maybe we can meet up. |

Hi, if you want to find out some info, then check out Dave's ESL Cafe (http://www.eslcafe.com/), it's a great website with many resources for ESL/EFL teachers, with ideas for lesson plans, different job boards (i.e. for Korea, China), and discussion boards where people can share their teaching experiences and opinions. Another good website with tips is http://www.esl-lesson-plan.com/ , you can sign up for it with your e-mail address and they'll send you a weekly e-mail with news about job openings in various countries, stories and good tips about different aspects of EFL teaching (personal issues with adapting to the new environment, ideas for lesson preparation, managing classroom time, etc). I myself was wanting to teach English overseas, I have the necessary qualifications, I would love to teach English in France, esp. Paris, but would consider other cities/country-side too... I hope that maybe someday I'll manage to find a way to do it :p
I was wanting to ask, for those people whose friends came back from Korea early, were they working on a signed contract with the school? And if they were, were there any reprecussions/issues with the school officials for leaving before their work-term was completed? I was playing around with the idea of going to Korea too, but the fact that you're committing yourself for at least one year and may end up in a school/environment that you dislike, being bound by a work-contract, is kind of a scary prospect... And that's the one thing that's a major deterrent for me in this issue. Thank you for any info that anyone is willing to share :) |

| A friend taught in Seoul, South Korea for a year and loved it. She didn't have any major problems and found co-workers and her boss extremely helpful. After she travelled for a few months and overall had an amazing trip. If you are still considering South Korea after hearing of some negative experiences let me know and I can find out some more info for you. |
