Whoa. More misinformed information.

Does this tie in with your previous statement that English Teachers only go to teach the uneducated impoverished people? I hope so, as it just makes the statements sound even weirder and stranger.

So, let me get this straight....a lot of Aussies are going to the Philippines to teach the uneducated how to speak English?

INTERESTING!!

Japan is the most desirable place to teach English, but as that get harder, more are going to South Korea, China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia.

I don't even know if the Philippines wants Westerners to come and teach English. I've never heard of it. Maybe in the call centers they need American "coaches" though

Developed>developing.
Work at a developing country lacks a lot. (Different work ethics etc).

English teachers that goes to developing countries, teaches English to the people who are willing to work at a Western company.

A lot of Aussie English teachers go to Vietnam, Philippines, Cambodia.

You think English is not spoken in Philippine schools ? The medium of instruction from
Grade School to College is in English. Honestly, I think the English in the Philippines is better than English in Malaysia.

What do you mean basic English ????
Even some of our TV commercials are in English.
Please stop saying something you don't know.
All our books in school are in English. Medium of instruction is in English, how can that be just basic ????
Our official language is also English.
I don't know if their Education system is better than ours, but our English accent is better than theirs.
