Greetings English teachers,
My primary task while teaching English in South Korea for one year was to document the problems that native English speaking English teachers were having involving their employers, students, their labor contracts, passport and labor contract confiscation, failure of employers to return promised inbound flight fare on arrival in Korea and teachers' living and housing conditions.
The survey started out small and then grew to a point where I had logged over four hundred (400) separate complaints. All 400 complaints are documented in the eBook. The Table of Contents for the book can be seen below. I divided the complaints into several categories including complaints made before teachers began teaching in Korea, during the time they were teaching in Korea and after teaching in Korea.
After teaching and collecting data in South Korea for one year I moved on to Thailand. I continued my research in Thailand for an additional five years while teaching full time for corporate English language students and two years as a full time English language lecturer at Rangsit University, Thailand. I was a voice and pronunciation specialist for Thai English teachers at Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University. Most of the native speaking English teachers I interviewed in Thailand were far, far happier in Thailand than they were in South Korea. During multiple visits to Japan and Malaysia I continued the research. The difficulties the English teachers experienced are documented in my first eBook "Teaching English in South Korea - CAUTIONS and Warnings, Know Before You Go!"
Teachers suggested that I write a separate book involving EFL - ESL employment (labor) contracts. That request was made primarily because of faulty contracts some of the teachers had been given to sign by recruiters.
Another English teacher said, "How can we tell the difference between a good recruiter and a bad recruiter?" There is a third book that I wrote providing guidelines that can be used to determine the due diligence and integrity of a particular recruiter as well as the potential employer whether that be a language institute Director of Studies, or a college or university employer. In conclusion, the three eBooks provide those considering teaching English in South Korea (and other countries as well) with a powerful wealth of knowledge and information involving potential problems and how to avoid them.
The fourth book contains all of the information in books 1, 2 and 3. This eBook is also an instant buy and download. The book is offered as a substantial discount compared to purchasing all three books separately.

My best to you,
