The status of teachers in Korean society has been always high and it is still true.

Parents also respect the teachers for their effort to educate their children; and often, the parents invite the teachers to dinner or buy treat.

What Will You Teach As An ESL Teacher?
As an ESL teacher, you will teach mostly daily conversation especially listening and speaking.
So you do not have to worry about teaching English in depth.
What is important to remember as a teacher is how you keep the class fun and effective.
Since almost all ESL institutes are private, the students at the schools tend to move around easily from an institute to an institute to look for a better teacher (probably a fun teacher).
In order for you to be successful as an ESL teacher in Korea, you had better keep your classes always fun for the students.

English Level of Korean Students?
Quite many Korean students have high knowledge of English vocabulary.
Some university students know a lot of strange words that you may not be aware of.
Sometimes, they embarrass you asking such hard words.
Most of the time the students embarrass you, it is not on purpose.
Don't be embarrassed when you are in such situations.
Even though they have such strong vocabulary, most of the students do not know how to use the words properly.
They also have good grammar knowledge, but they are very poor at listening and speaking.
If you really know how to help the students to improve their listening skills and speaking skills, that will be your great asset as an ESL teacher.
