The university is a famous teachers college in Korea. By government regulation, every single teacher college is supposed to have a department serving the communities (provide special education to the community). You will be hired a depart called SCHOOL - BASED ENTERPRISE PROGRAM DEPARTMENT under the university.

 

The department has team of teachers who is going out to teach English.

 

For now, there are three teams.

 

1.      First team go to elementary school(s) and teach afternoon classes

 

2.      Second team go to Korea Water Resources Corporation http://english.kwater.or.kr/  to teach government employees

 

3.      I think there is third team but do not remember exactly what they do (may be another elementary school or corporation)

 

They contract with Hospitals, or government department so there tend to be classes for nurses etc (hospital and medical English classes). Depending on your qualification you may only teach at the inside of he department.

 

 

What I believe it the position is better than other jobs. You arrive at the department at 1pm and go out to teach and back to your office by 6 or 6:30 and finish your work at 8 (as far I remember there are two short days that you finish your work early). Your teaching hour is shorter than other jobs and there will be a travel time that you can enjoy (watching and doing things out side). Korean teachers will always give you a ride. Since I work a lot at the office I prefer that type of job. But do understand different people has different preferences.

 

Other benefit for this position is the job is very secure. It is a university department of a National University. There will be more job securities and you will be covered by all the insurance required by the Korean government (the four insurances)
You would..
