Scott Sommers: English Teachers as Migrants

Scott Sommers in Taiwan has a very interesting collection of postings on the issue of English Teachers as Migrants over at his Taiwan Blog. While the issues covered in the postings vary and I don’t have time to give my own take on everything here, I found lots of fascinating little tidbits. One of the postings has statistics showing that Canadian teachers outnumber American teachers, and there is a third large group of teachers: South Africans (17.66%) with South Africans being the largest single group in Taipei county. I have noted a similar prominence of Australian teachers in Japan (though I have no statistics on hand) and on the bullet train yesterday, I noticed that all the English announcements were done by an Australian.

    Sorry about that. I didn’t refresh my browser, so I couldn’t see your correction.
