Public Schools: Elementary School Teaching

I have been offered a job doing elementary school teaching in Taichung.I have never actually taught elementary before–or hardly (?I did tell them). Does anyone who teaches in thesze scholls regularly think someone with a background mostly in high school and higher education could cope okay?

You will know more once you get a weekly schedule and grade list. Do you know if you will be teaching English Village or serving as a regular grade level teacher?

School based I think.

Who knows. Do you have Ed degree?

Is it a real elementary class, like English used to teach all subjects all day long, or are you an Foreign English teacher?

I see you might not know the answer. Don’t you think it would be wise to call back and follow up with them before accepting?

It;s FET. The contract says’ to teach English and conduct research’.

Foreign English Teacher?

Do you have an elementary ed degree? Or do they think that any and all FETs can teach and conduct research?

I have a PhD and a PGCE.

Honestly, it seems like an easy gig then. Lay low.

Thank you.
