Summary: Thanks for the help
Review: Going to Korea to teach was a big decision for me, if not a bit scary, and coming across this book made a difficult transition much easier. From tips on where to begin the job search, to helpful classroom hints, to the ins and out of everyday living in Korea, "Korea Calling" became an invaluable tool for me during my year of teaching there. Teaching Engish Korea is a great adventure, grab a copy of this book and DO IT!

Summary: Very Helpful
Review: I found this book to be very helpful for my Korean experience. I am currently teaching in Korea and bought the book a few months before I left to prepare. It gives you inside information from the Korean obsession with appearance to lesson plans and ideas. It is a little bit too much based on people travelling to Seoul but overall very helpful, highly recommended.

Summary: Indispensible for English Teachers Living Abroad
Review: Not only is this book well laid-out and informative, but it is also inspiring and motivating. The content is extremely pragmatic, ranging from explaining the subtleties of Korean culture to thorough and engaging lesson plans. It is written from experience and makes the daunting task of moving abroad to teach English less mysterious and less frightening.

The best reccomendation I can give this book is that I lent my copy to a friend who was leaving for Seoul to teach for six months and he not only has not returned it, he bought another copy for a friend!
