I’m at month 9 of teaching in Taiwan and I’m signed up for a second year but doubt I’ll stay longer than that. I’d like to continue teaching abroad though and I’m curious how many other people are like me and want to wander around the world teaching English…
I’ve only taught in Taiwan, predominantly adults. I would love to teach in Europe. My celta and delta training courses involved teaching European students, and I loved the mix of nationalities, especially in speaking activities. Very different from Taiwan!
I’ve taught in China, South Korea, and Taiwan. Where I lived in China might as well have been the Middle Ages, but it was the most interesting of the three. Korea involved a lot of hassles revolving around getting paid. Taiwan was the easiest for both working and living.
I also taught at a school for immigrants in Canada, but since I don’t have a teaching degree I was called an assistant and got paid minimum wage.
I’d love to teach in Europe, but don’t know how I’m going to manage that.
You’ve left off being able to say I’ve taught in Taiwan and also in other places.
I want my own language school. Have to win the lottery first, though.
Not here you don’t 
One of my students told me he only made 3 mistakes on his High school entrance examinations. One of the parents then said if we focus more on grammar he might have made even fewer mistakes and hence she is not convinced our high school program is a effective as other schools because we don’t care as much about the scores.
Gimme a break.

Based on your posts here, I’d work at your school IronLady! Though I think you’d be a bit of a hard ass I think I’d learn a lot 
Here, There, & Somewhere.
Over there!..
“But…”
No,
Where.
Back to the question: I’ve taught mostly in Taiwan, but also in Hong Kong and my home country, the USA. Also taught briefly in Singapore and Japan.
I’ve taught in Australia, England and Taiwan, plus privates in Hungary. I would never work in England again (the average English kid is a feral beast) unless I worked at a really good school, but then, why would they want me working for them? I also wouldn’t want to work in Australia again for much the same reasons, though it’s nowhere near as bad. The cost of living is a major factor too.
Unless I could somehow get into teacher training down the line, I’m pretty well aiming to get out of teaching within about a decade or so. I try to teach well, but I think I’m pretty mediocre as a teacher and I don’t have any real passion for it. Unless things change radically in Taiwan I’ll be more than ready to walk away from this whole scene in a decade.
I see myself doing this for maybe the rest of my life. I actually really like it. I might move to another country, since my wife has the place close to her heart on the agenda, but I will still teach.
Teacher training is not always all it is made out to be.
heimuoshu: I’m sure it’s no better or worse in many senses (and I’ve seen plenty of Taiwanese teachers use professional development sessions as an opportunity to nap or catch up on some marking, or else just go through the motions of paying attention). However, a change is as good as a holiday they say, and so it might be something worth trying to do if/when I really need a break from kids.
I once had a guy in a session who looked like and smelled like he just got back from KTV. He couldn’t throw his paper plate in the trashcan after the snacks. PLeasure to watch!
He didn’t teach at that school in Hualian did he?
