My experiences teaching English in Asia

Hi,

This is a new blog and I'm writing to let you know about my experiences teaching English in Asia. I've been living in Asia for 17 years now and have lived in Japan, Korea, China and now Hong Kong. I have taught every kind of student you can imagine and every form of the English language that you can imagine!

I've taught students from 4-75 years of age! I've taught conversational English, business English, IELTS preparation, Primary school literacy, English to English teachers, TOEFL preparation and more.

I lived in Japan for three years, Korea for five years, China for 16 months and now Hong Kong for seven years. I think I have a really good understanding of the different cultures and of their education systems. 

I've also studied the languages of the countries I've lived in, so I understand how language learners learn and how they feel. 

I have a teaching degree, an MA in Applied Linguistics and a Certificate in Proofreading, so am well-qualified in many areas of English teaching.

I have made lots of fantastic friends in each country and count myself lucky to have these friends teach me about their culture. 

That gives you an overview of my teaching and learning experiences so far in Asia. Next time I'll start telling you about some of my specific experiences and adventures while living in Asia.

Bye for now,

Angela
