Anyone ever teach overseas?

Hey all, I never really lurk too far away from the 7.3 forum but I thought I would throw this out there.

Has anyone ever taught overseas through a program? I am looking into the idea for a lady friend and myself. Preferably a 1 year contract would be great. I am trying to get into China, Japan, or Korea.

Any insight or info would be awesome. Both of us have 4 degrees from colleges, but are not teachers by trade.

Alex, I have no idea what you are talking about on this teaching thing. But, I can't let you go down with 0 replies.

I taught some kids south of the border of Texas when I was coaching/teaching.I tried to make them understand that ''English'' IS the language of the land.I do not teach anymore but I still believe that English is the language here and get petty when Spanish is thrown in my face on the phone and on most products now

No worries guys but thanks for replying. Its sort of a newer trend among recent college grads, to get into programs where you are sent overseas for a year to teach english. All that is required is to be a recent college grad.

Because of many foreign countries are looking to teach newer generations english, it becomes a cool situation for someone like myself to get overseas and learn a new culture while making a little bit of money.

A good friend of mine has been teaching English to grad students at a university in China for the last 4 or so years. I have sent him this link, to see if he will give me some info for you.

I would like to know the best way to get into it and get more information without accidentally committing myself into a bad situation.

China would be excellent as its one of the primary destinations and then Korea.

I read the other week that teaching overseas is one of the growing fields. If you don't have anything tying you down here and feel the need for a adventure I'd look into it seriously, but also be very carefull since some will probably be scams and once you get outside the US you could have a problem with getting help. Check out any offer to make sure that it is a honest company.
