Teaching Job Options
There are a number of different teaching possibilities in Korea. Following is a list and short description of the organisations that most often employ language instructors – hagwons, universities, university-owned language institutes, public schools, in-house corporate programs, as well as various other government or private institutions. Hagwons These private (for-profit) language institutes can be found in almost every area of the peninsula. Some are branches or franchises of well-known companies, while others are small-scale, and in some cases, get-rich-quick initiatives, that may not be long-lived. Some of these may open the doors of their beautifully decorated office/classrooms, hire foreign teacher(s), advertise for students, offer classes for a while, and then shut down. The better hagwons will provide housing for their foreign instructors, will offer them contracts with clear language that spell out benefits and expectations in detail and ensure that all immigrations requirements have been met before work begins. The typical full- time employee can be expected to work 20 to 30 hours a week. The majority of classes are conducted in the early morning and the evening. Students can range in age from pre-school age to elementary/middle/high school students to university students to adults, including business people, home-makers, and seniors. University Departments University classes tend to be large (sometimes 100 students) especially those taken by first year students to meet the basic foreign language requirements. Most instructors teach between 10 and 15 hours a week. Some universities provide housing – often in a dorm-like environment or designated units on campus – while others may provide only a housing allowance. In the latter instances, they should also be provided enough money for the ‘deposit’. Most universities will provide benefits as required by law, however some are less forthcoming. The details of the contract are as important for university positions as they are for hagwons. Normally, university instructors have three to four months paid vacation (winter and summer breaks) a year. However, increasingly they are requiring foreign language instructors to teach winter or summer session classes/camps. The majority of university instructors have graduate degrees. Language Institutes Affiliated with Universities Many universities operate their own language institutes. Some of their students are also enrolled in the university, but the majority of them are businesspeople. Instructors here also tend to have at least a Master’s Degree, usually in TESOL. Universities outside Seoul and in the more isolated areas often provide better housing, working conditions and salaries. Corporate In-House Language Programs Many Korean conglomerates offer their staff in-house language training. Instructors in these programs may be expected to teach more than 30 hours a week, with schedules that range from early morning to late at night. Housing may be provided, usually on-site or requiring a long commute Teaching English Part-Time Many full-time instructors also teach part-time, either privately or at a second institution. Private instruction is illegal. Part-time employment at a second institution is illegal as well, unless permission is granted by the sponsoring institution and Korean immigration authorities. You are obliged by law to pay taxes on all income earned. If you fail to do so and get caught and fined, you will not be able to leave Korea until you have paid the required amount. If you do not have sufficient funds, immigration authorities will insist that you arrange for money to be sent from your home country. When considering part-time employment, make sure you know the law and understand that you are taking a serious risk if you teach private lessons.

Bank Checks as Cash
Contrary to the definition some of us have of a cheque - a bit of paper on which is printed our bank account number and which we use to pass money from our bank account to another person and/or to pay our bills, in Korea, such transactions are done through a direct bank transfer. In Korea, a check is paper, yes. But it’s one on which an amount of money is printed. The standard amount on a cheque is W100,000, but you can request them from a teller in any amount you wish. Those you get from the ATM are for a fixed value of W100,000. Because the largest paper money denomination in Korea is W50,000, cheques are a convenient way of carrying 'cash'. Same as cash but with some differences - We are told that checks are just like cash and up to a point, that’s true. However, there are some important differences: 1. If you try to cash your check at a bank other than the issuing bank, you may have to pay a small service fee of about 1-2,000 Won for a W100,000 check. Some merchants may also charge this service fee, especially if the check was issued by a bank in another city. 2. While the cheque is generally 'cashed' right away when presented at a bank that is the same as the issuing bank (issued by KEB and presented for cash at a KEB branch) there may be a delay of up to 2 days before it can be honoured. if presented at another bank (issued by KEB and presented at Kookmin). 3. If you deposit a check from another bank into to your bank account the fee may be waived but there will still be a delay before it is honoured. However, if your bank account is the same as the issuing bank, there is often no delay. 4. When using the check to make a purchase or when cashing it at a store, you will likely be asked to write your name, telephone number and maybe your address and/or registration number on the back. 5. Even if you’re depositing checks in your account, the teller may ask for your passport or alien registration card as proof of identity. 6. Note also, that the ATM’s in some banks do not offer the option of depositing cheques if you’re conducting the transaction in English - the assumption being that non-Korean speakers are all tourists and as such don’t need to have access to many of the functions that are available for Korean-speakers, depositing checks being one of them. In large cities this is not as common an occurence as it once was, but it may still happen in areas where foreigners are still a rarity. If you want the money quickly, make sure none of the checks are larger than W100,000 and use them to purchase goods or go to a store/restaurant where you are known. If it’s a large amount and you can wait 24 hours, just go ahead and accept one ‘big’ check and deposit it to your account. Checks are a great convenience as long as you are aware of the rules. They may also be safer than flashing a lot of cash. To reduce the possibility of forged checks, banks began printing with a special ink in December 2013. This is just one of the new design modifications that allow the bank to more easily identify and/or track falsified checks.

Traffic Rules, Korea
Minimum Driving Age is 18 years of age for cars and 16 for motorcycles Speed limits: On ordinary roads: 60km/hr Roads over 5-lanes: 80km/hr Motorways: 30-90km/hr (see traffic signs for posted speed) Highways – 4-lanes: 50-100km/hr Highways – 2-lanes: 48-80km/hrReduce speed by 20% during rain or now. Safety belts must be worn by all passengers when the vehicle is in motions. Failure to comply can result in a fine of at least W30,000. Cell phones use is prohibited to drivers unless it’s a ‘hands-free’ set. Failure to comply can result in a fine. City Bus lanes give priority to public buses during rush hour(s) and can be identified by the painted blue line. Bus-only rules apply from 7:00 to 21:00 on weekdays and 7:00 to 15:00 on Saturdays. Sundays are open. Bus lanes are often in the middle of the road and are not confined to the curb lanes. (Note: does this mean that buses will stay inside their lines? Absolutely not.) Highways also have Express Bus-Only lanes. These are generally the far left lane and are in effect from 9:00 to 23:00 every day. Only vehicles (vans/buses) carrying 8 or more people are allowed in the bus only lane. Left turns are generally only allowed if the traffic light shows a left-turn arrow. The same can apply for right turns at some busy intersections; otherwise you can make a right turn on a red light. Traffic Violations Points System Drivers accumulate points for traffic violations or traffic accidents. Once a certain number of points have been accumulated, the person's driving license may be cancelled or suspended. For example, if a driver accumulates more than 40 penalty points for traffic violations, her/his license may be suspended. Cancellation of the license will occur if the driver has accumulated more than 121 points in one year, 201 points in 2 years or 271 points in 3 years. Refusal to submit to breathalyzer test, leaving the scene of an accident, driving with a suspended license can result in immediate cancellation of one's driving license. Point Penalities: 10 points: lane changing violation, no passing zone violation, engaging in disputes/arguments on the road that interferes with traffic, etc. 15 points: signal violation (crossing on a red/amber light), use of cell phone while driving, no passing violation, exceeding speed limity by 20-40km/hr, bus-only lane violation, etc. 30 points: crossing the center divide line, exceeding speed limit by 40km/hr, driving on highway shoulder, railrod crossing violation, etc. 15 points: signal violation (crossing on a red/amber light), use of cell phone while driving, no passing violation, exceeding speed limity by 20-40km/hr, bus-only lane violation, etc. 2-15 points per injury depending on the seriousness (based on healing/treament time) of the injury 90 points: per death if the victim dies within 72 hours of the accident Fines: Speeding 40km/hr over limit: W90,000 car; W60,000 motorcycle Signal violation, u-turn/reverse violation, pedestrian crossing violation, mobile phone usage: W60,000 passenger car; W40,000 motorcycle Parking violation, bus-only lane violation, emergency violation yielding violation, failing to drive safely (including dangerious driving): W40,000 passenger car; W30,000 motorcyle, Drinking and Driving is a serious offense in Korea and the law is more often enforced than not these days. a. Driving while intoxicated (this means a blood alcohol level of over 0.05%) is punishable by imprisonment of up to 2 years and a fine of up to 3 million won. b. Driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.05-0.35% is punishable by law, and those with over 0.36% are arrested and detained. c. Anyone who has been caught drinking and driving on 3 previous occasions is automatically detained, regardless of the degree of intoxication. d. Penalties: - Drivers with a blood alcohol level of 0.05% to 0.09% will have their license suspended for 100 days. - Those found with a blood alcohol level of more than 0.10% or more than 0.05% when involved in an accident resulting in loss of life will have their license revoked. - Drivers who refuse an alcohol level test face cancellation of their license. When you reach the officer, you must stop, roll down the window and quickly breathe into the breathalyzer – it takes only a second...if you pass the test.
