Work Teaching English in Taiwan

Anyone taught CAE? Any insights?

I’ve got an interview.

You’re teaching some really high level stuff!

I’m afraid I only teach the Cambridge exams for young learners, so I’m no use on this. It’s nice to see that some schools are using some serious exams for adults. I teach BULATS to a couple of adults, and it’s a really difficult test of English.

You may be better off asking teachers in the UK as I find the tendency in Taiwan is to go for the easier exams.

You’ve probably already checked this out, but if not this is the link for the teacher’s guide for CAE. It provides a sample paper with varying levels of student writing ability.

Thanks. Nah, it’s not in Taiwan. I’m still hanging 'roond da flob like a bad smell 'cos I have no friends in the UK though.

(I tell a lie, one just came in the pub. She’s a CELTA trainee. Hahahahaha.)

I got the job, it’s amazing what a difference to your employability, the DOS having to cover a class makes…
