English Teaching in Taiwan
What will I be doing?
There is a big demand for English teachers in private English schools in Taiwan right now. OMF in Taiwan is working to build a network of Christian English teachers who will support each other and help local churches reach out into the community through English. There is currently a team in Kaohsiung made up of people from Canada, England, New Zealand and the U.S.A. You will teach in a private language schools (making about $15 an hour), and you will study Chinese part-time and be involved in ministry.
Some ministries you may be involved in are:
- A weekly English Bible study in your apartment
- Church-based evangelistic English Bible study
- Teaching English Bible classes at a local Christian college
- Helping a local church with children’s outreach to a big government housing complex near the church
- Sharing with the friends you are making
What are the requirements?
- You must be a committed Christian.
- A university/college degree from an “approved” school. The Taiwan government has a list of schools that they will accept people from to teach English in Taiwan. The kind of degree you have does not matter as much as the school you graduated from. We can tell you if your school is “approved” or not.
- Good, clear spoken English.
- Available to come for one year or more. All language schools want a minimum one-year contract.
What else do I need to know?
Financially, you will be self-supporting and independent of OMF. If you work hard you will be able to save money and/or pay off student loans, etc. We will help you find a job and a place to stay, and, more importantly, we will link you up with other OMF-related teachers for fellowship and ministry. We will also be available for advice/mentoring. This really is a great opportunity to get valuable cross-cultural experience, learn Chinese, make new friends, and serve the Lord.
