A Handbook for Foreign Teachers: Teaching English in Taiwan

This is a teacher training and professional development tool.

Often, the only requirements for teaching English are to be a native speaker and have a Bachelor's Degree, which means that many expats arrive in a new country with incomplete expectations and without the teaching skills necessary to keep a classroom of rowdy students in check. It takes time to learn on the job, and most private institutions will provide some kind of training. However, it's always useful to have your own resources that will help you become more effective.

Foreign teachers working in any country can be inspired by the ideas contained in this book. However, if you are new to teaching English in Taiwan or are simply looking to refresh your own teaching strategies, then this is the book for you.

Inside are tips and suggestions about how to be culturally sensitive and develop good relationships with your coworkers. Also included, is a suggested positive discipline process and downloadable resources to aid in class preparation, management and structure.
