Schools Situation

Taitung schools can be cozy, charming, hectic, laid-back, tiny, big, urban, or rural. Each school has its own personality that can suit your personality.  After your arrival, you will go on a school tour to find out which one is best for you.

In Taitung, ETAs are placed in mostly elementary schools (13 in the year 2022-2023)  and a few junior high schools (3 in the year 2022-2023). Participating schools in the Taitung area fall under two categories: Type 1 are stand-alone schools, and Type 2 are paired schools. Some elementary schools are pair schools so some ETAs will teach at 2 schools. 

Most ETAs co-teach with their co-teachers(LET). About a third of the population in Taitung are aborigines, the benefits of teaching in Taitung is that you can also learn their aboriginal languages! Some schools offer 1 to 2 languages! Also, most schools offer cultural activities like planting millets, singing the tribe songs which ETAs are welcomed to join.


Type 1

Stand-alone schools will be your only workplace M-F. You may be partnered with 1 or 2 Local English Teachers (LETs) and visit classrooms for the various grade levels to deliver lessons.
