juliana asked:
hi.. I am a Chinese Indonesian female. I have korean boyfriend and plan to live in korea, but because the living cost in korea is really expensive. So i plan to find a job before moving there. I think the only job that does not require korean language skill is teaching english. The problem is I come from non native english speaker country. Is it possible to teach english in south korea and do i need to have TEFL /TESOL certificate?
for you who have good suggestions, i would be grateful to hear it.. thank you!!

Yes they expect you to have a T.E.F.L qualification for example diploma/certificate in T.E.F.L and most cases a degree. Most employers prefer native English speakers, why? non native English speaker may not pronounce English words correctly etc Astray A
