I apologize if my comments come off as nonsensical ramblings. I simply do not like it when we eschew good books (good books here are not merely ones that have interesting story; they are masterfully written, too.) so as to master a particular language quickly. It's bad enough that the people who are subjected under ESL/EFL courses don't read that often; now, we are under this situation.

I am an Asian living in through and through Asian country but it saddens me that many of my fellow Asians, especially the younger ones, think that good English can be found in Twilight.
A few of my friends took up TESL course (Diploma Level) on the pretext of having read Twilight and Harry Potter. What's more, they truly think that books like Ulysses and Moby Dick are not good. Something is not right when Twilight is used as the determiner of good usage of the English language.

English. I don't know, but I just have this sentiment that Asians generally aren't enthusiastic at learning English because of the status of the language as a colonial language. Well, the language of the once largest empire on Earth.
Teenagers and late-teenagers in Asia, as with teenagers around the world who are exposed to popular cultures, are obsessed with Twilight.

Hey. I'm thinking of doing this too! It'll be an adventure, but the main reason is to pay of student debt. -It's hard to get work, atm. However, after teaching for a year abroad, how do you think future employers will view me?

@MsQwerty09871 I think a lot of employers like people who've done something like this.
