Hong Kong’s vibrant lifestyle which never seems to stop offers TEFL teachers an experience that often keeps them there for years. Some people struggle with the pollution and the crowded lively streets, but most seem to embrace and enjoy the 24-7 way of life. At language centers in Hong Kong a TEFL teacher can make a reasonable salary – some also have the advantage of in-house training so before you spend lots of money on a TEFL course you might be hired here and discover if TEFL is the life for you. The more qualified and experienced TEFL teachers might have a chance of working in the state-run NET scheme which has a package comparable to those available in the Middle East. Hong Kong also makes a great hub for exploring other parts of Asia.

I don’t know, but I couldn’t get her out of my mind – it would wander to visions of us staring at each other adoringly over a copy of Cutting Edge’s Teachers’ book (Pre-Int edition), or imagining us skipping hand-in-hand to a lecture on the latest innovations in English language teaching by Scott Thornbury.
