Teaching in Taiwan Program Website
In an effort to enhance the English learning environment for
school-aged children in rural areas, Taiwan Ministry of Education has been
actively recruiting qualified teachers to teach in K-9 public schools in
Taiwan. The goals of the program are to broaden English immersion experiences
of Taiwan’s young minds and to establish inter-school relationships between English-speaking
countries and Taiwan. Taiwan is a very beautiful island often called Formosa.
The territories of Taiwan (Republic of China) includes Penghu, Kinmen, and
Matsu and though they are only a small group of islands, they are rich in
natural landscapes and cultural resources.
Applicants with a bachelor’s degree or higher and with a teacher’s license
are eligible to apply for the program. Benefits for teachers include round-trip
airfare, a housing stipend, overtime pay, health and labor insurance, and a
monthly salary based on educational background and teaching experience. The
intangible benefits to teachers include broad exposure to the rich heritage and
natural beauty of Taiwan as well as to world-renowned cuisine and local
delicacies.

realistically expect NT$20,000~30,000 (≒US$645~968) per month.

towns have a local train stop that allows travel between towns and cities. The High Speed Rail (HSR) serves the west of Taiwan, and runs on its own track from Taipei to Kaohsiung.
However, people usually ride a bicycle or scooter, or drive a car for daily transportation. In most
places, public buses are also available.
