TaiwaneseAmerican.org's Elizabeth Wang chats with Laura Hsin Feng about her experiences teaching English in a "bushiban." These after-school "cram schools" are socially & culturally party of the Taiwanese educational system where students are expected to excel in academics by studying constantly.

Laura keeps her own blog "Taiwan-Born American" where she shares her personal advice on teaching and her personal experiences about living in Taiwan.

  • Terrible American accents

  • Awesome! I live in Taiwan and post vids daily! Check out my channel. Great vid!

  • Here's something. Taiwanese are very prejudiced in the buxibans. They want white americans/north american accents. ABC's find it very hard to get a job. Most schools are for profit only and don't really care if the student actually learns. Most students who learn English can't speak any. -- I have been teaching in Taiwan for about 2 years now and i tried out two 'great' schools before settling at one for a year... decided it sucked as well. now i work in a foreigner owned school that cares.

  • can you make any money doing it?

  • Hi! I'm a Taiwanese-Cuban-American currently a first year college student hoping to teach English in Taiwan this summer. Does anyone know any program that I can apply to? Thanks!
