The South Korea Adventure
South Korea is a dynamic country where old meets new and a centuries-old heritage coexists with cutting-edge technology. Although less known than neighboring China and Japan, Korea is a culturally diverse and economically advanced country full of dynamism. Building upon incredible post-war economic growth, Korea is the 12th largest economy in the world, and is becoming a powerful focal point of the Asian economic block.
Teaching in South Korea can be a very culturally enriching experience and the salaries for English teachers are quite high.
