I'm teaching English in Taiwan. 3 years now. Started at cram school but now moving to National Senior High School. They make some amazing and true points here. I would 100% agree they are very racist/prejudiced here in Taiwan with darker-skinned and even their own people. Being lighter-skinned and from America, we learn to treat everyone equally, but that is not the case in Taiwan. Deep down, they want white, captain-America-looking people teaching their kids. Taiwanese parents swarm those teachers like flies and don't care about certifications. One problem I have with cram schools and kindergartens is that there's a point where it feels like a dead-end job. There are endless opportunities in Taiwan to teach English. I would say Taiwan is one of the best places in the world for English teachers. The gov wants to be bilingual by 2030, but there's a ceiling, specifically for salary and career growth. When you get old, parents won't want you as much as young teachers. And yes, I would say it is EASY Money, especially if you're light, native-speaker, and outgoing. We foreigners make double or triple of an average salary. I really like the second interviewee here. That is the kind of teacher I would want if I was learning and people like her should definitely be paid more than some foreigners.
If you want to teach English in Taiwan then you need to know your legal rights. Private employers in Taiwan will never tell you about your rights regarding paid leave. Women are legally entitle to three days of menstrual leave per year (at 50% salary). None of the foreign female teachers at the schools I worked at were ever told, or knew about this right. You are also entitle to paid leave if your wife has a child. Some foreign teachers didn't even know about this. Those that did had to stand firm against their employers to take maternity leave. I had a school which told the foreign teachers that they had to start working working earlier (first five minutes earlier, the ten, then fifteen minutes) and not get paid for the extra time they were working. Fifteen minutes a day might not sound like much, but it adds up to 3,000 NT per month (at 600 per hour), and 36,000 NT per year that you aren't getting paid. My employer also cooked up a scam to defraud the government of tax payments. Taiwanese private employers are very dishonest, and they will never value a foreign teacher.
I wonder how Norelle acquired that accent. Also, I don't think possessing an Anglo Saxon makes one come across as advanced. Unless of course, it's as good as saying Taiwanese people discriminate against themselves. It's also weird that Taiwanese pride themselves as being democratic, which I would think is associated with being fair. Yet there's still unfair hiring practices and promotional considerations till today.
I was also quite impressed by her fluency, she speaks better English than most Americans lol. Anyway, I totally get what she meant by “advanced” or “more decent”, sadly the truth is that there’s a hierarchy in terms of accents, British English tops the list followed by American English and then race is also factored in. In common local imagination, I guess some would believe that native speakers of these countries are only White so that would explain the differences in terms of treatment (discrimination, racism etc.). It would have been quite interesting to hear from an English teacher from Africa or India to have their take on this as I know for a fact that some locals wouldn’t want their kids to learn with native-English speakers from Africa (excluding SA) for instance. Oh and I’m quite surprised that New Zealand English comes after American English, I mean yeah most Kiwis’ vowel sounds are incorrect but the grammar is better so 🧐🤭.
@@wctch7009 there's only an hierachy if you deem so. i'm from Singapore and I honestly don't give a rats ass if you're white and have a clear anglo saxon accent. it's not gonna make me respect you more as a person, nor take you more seriously in the workplace. more and more younger people in my country are less blindly worshiping white people.
Parents want their kids to get the full genuine experience. So they prefer white people. Later in life they can say oh I had a teacher who looked like people from those parts of the world.

真的，但感覺她好像講中文的時候有被講英文影響，發音跟用力的地方稍微沒那麼輕鬆，哈！可能也是要這樣才有辦法把英文講那麼順，那麼有節奏！

Are you English native speakers or Taiwanese ?

我覺得取決於你要教什麼英文吧，台灣的英文教學產業對本土教師來說，最大的優勢在於，你可以發展更多針對考試教學的課程，我相信半數以上的家長送孩子去學英文，是希望他們能在考試中獲得高分，若在口說上有著無法突破的限制，那不如就發展教學的部分，若你的學生成績都很好、多益都考得很高，薪資跟學生我覺得只會源源不絕，試想那些補教名師，哪個是真的很會講英文的，少數而已。
不是國際學校都免談，再來就是學費不便宜，真的想達到目標，都是直接出國留學（ 普通家庭不在條件內 ）
家長的算盤很精的
@@ValentinesHappy 有錢家庭或是未來有規劃的，都是雙語學校、美國學校、或者出國。而一般家庭送孩子去學英文，通常是為了在會考、學測得高分，因此，台灣的英語老師，如果要發展好，那就教到學生可以在會考或學測拿到高分，我孩子以前的補習班老師就是一個專門教考試，整理一堆教材，文法、單字，講英文也是2266，但他的學生只怕收不完而已。
@@狂戰遊俠 學生收不完 這是講以前，現在很難說了，補教業也是很競爭喔，如果門檻太高大多是在基礎英文才有市場需求，除非小孩有學習能力和意願，後面才會接續補習，我覺得一般家庭很少在英文方面花費太多費用，畢竟現在金錢流通都在某個領域，而且物價水準也在提高，補習班的費用一定是變貴的，這個行業能不能賺到家長們的薪水，要端看市場需求，少子高齡化是真的，以後外文會走向高薪家庭（看韓國就知道了）
How and where did you learn to speak English?
I learned basic English in school, and now I am trying my best to find opportunities to practice speaking with native English speakers.
這是有關英文的職場環境，外籍老師真的薪水很高，反應給大家家長看看，現在學習競爭有起來了，我覺得錢會不會流向補教業者很難說，如果小孩變少了，上補習班的人應該會更少，更別說一般小家庭了，真正有錢的家庭是送小孩出國唸書的
好想知道第二位老師的資訊！講英文好好聽！
留言我有置頂喔😎
最後一位老師好帥
2:31 twenty percent 是20%，不是18%
她說口誤20% ...所以字幕我打18% ~
沒錯，非境內居住者(外籍人士)全月薪資總額超過行政院核定每月基本工資1.5倍，按給付額扣取18%所得稅。
@chidoomexicooo 恩恩
比照海外人士勞務所得，扣繳18%。非本國住民都會被扣這個趴數，所以台灣企業很難請不在國內的外國員工，或聘用外國顧問。

可以字幕用括號更正，或許更好。
紐西蘭只要方音不太重，能使用標準的倫敦音或RP，競爭上還是贏過黑人口音太重不夠標美音的美國人

Are tattoos acceptable in Taiwan for teachers?
I think obvious tattoos aren't accepted anywhere for teachers, no ?
no,taiwan too traditional
同樣是英語母語者，白人的口音確實還是比較優的，也是很多教材的模範音
Not every White person is a native english speaker as you might realize since you claim be a native as well.

False. I'm an American working in Taiwan. British English is far from preferred. American is the international standard.
第一位英文好活潑有趣
最希望她是我們的老師
第二位發音好但仔細聽非母語
但是也是夠資格教大家了
膚色被拒絕，只是個藉口
主要是沒有很會教
台灣人只是想禮貌的拒絕
若說你教得不夠好會太傷人
外國人要認清這一點。
現在的家長英語程度比以前高，比較有能力評價教師的好壞，自然不會太迷信外師
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
外師薪資8萬2
台師薪資2萬8…
一直都是如此, the sad reality!
屁
哎，紐西蘭外教他說基本工資兩倍捏？ 初估5-6萬
8萬是哪來的
這個女生有IG嗎？覺得他很有趣😂
影片有兩位女生ㄋ
看到黑龍女朋友😂😂
是第一位嗎?? 😃
好笑嗎
🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨🇻🇨
覺得第二位的英文聽起來好硬，聽的出來母語不是英文，後來發現她的中文也一樣好硬，有種刻意壓低喉嚨發音～不會想跟她學英文。😂 除了專業，音調也很重要說。
您好，我就是第二位受訪者。還是第一次聽到有人對我的英文、中文評論是「很硬」 還真是有創意😆 我並沒有刻意壓低聲音喔！我的聲音天生就是這麼低～
您是第二位說出「聽得出來她不是母語者」這個評論（這點很有趣，點出這點的都是中文母語者）但我也沒有宣稱我是英文母語者喔～有用心看影片就知道了
我的聲音更低 😅
@@JayChenTaiwan 😂
@@unepolyglottefolle1820
講的這麼清楚 一聽就知道不是母語者😂
不開字幕聽您的內容我可以100% 理解
毫無障礙 （這是誇獎👍）
但是同樣的內容如果是我老外同事講出來我可能只能懂80%
我目前剛開始在國外上班
雅思 7.5
他們講話有時候真的快到我懷疑人生
So, do you remind yourself everyday that you are Asian and you will never speak perfect English?
