I am not sure TEFL helps find positions for people in Taiwan.  Anyone know of good sites or resources to find out more about opportunities there?  Simply google searchers come up with a lot of things, but I'm sure some are better than others.

Hi Tim,

I am in the same boat, I have found a few sites that seem pretty good try checking these out, if you come across any others please let me know.

http://www.eslcafe.com/

http://www.tefl.net/esl-jobs/

http://www.esljobs.com/

tealit.com.tw has several interesting teacher-wanted posts. Select the English version of the site on the upper right of the page.

http://www.asianconsultants.com/ offers to find you a job. Demand is so high in Taiwan that I'm sure most English-teaching schools are willing to pay them a commission for finding them native-speaking teachers.

Does anyone know if you had to be in an Universaity to be teaching in Taiwan?

Hi there,

Yes, you need a degree to legally get a teaching job in Taiwan. So you will have had to go to Uni.

http://www.eslteachersboard.com/cgi-bin/forum/index.pl is a good source of info too. Great for meeting teachers already teaching in Asia and reviews of schools and recruiters and such. Along with http://middlekingdomlife.com/guide/ and http://teachabroadchina.com/TACA/. You should be able to find what you are looking at amongst this lot.

Good luck! :)

Hi everyone,

I have spent the last 18 months living and teaching in South Korea. http://wanderlustontheroad.blogspot.com/

My contract will finish in August, so I would really like to teach in Taiwan.

I was wondering if anybody could tell me how Taiwan is specifically different and the pro's and con's of living there. 

Thanks so much.

Taiwan is fairly cheap and most of the people are very friendly towards foreigners even if they can't speak much of the language.

I recommend reading Heidi Brione's BLog, "Teach in Taiwan" @ http://teachintaiwan.com/blog/.

She provides the information you appear to be seeking.
