Korea is now a truly important country in the international community and as such the people of Korea have become increasingly interested in learning the English language. Globalization and internationalization has resulted in English now being regarded as the second language in South Korea. It is very important for Korean students to master skills in English conversation as it provides them with more opportunities, both in the society and the workplaces. In employment, it is increasingly important for Koreans to have the English proficiency.

There are tremendous employment opportunities related to English speaking and writing teachers' positions available through Korea, both in Seoul and medium and small towns across the country. Currently, about 11,000 foreign ESL teachers are stationing in Korea. 3,000 teachers newly joined the force from overseas in 2002. All public and private schools are eager to employ native speaking English teachers. ESL teachers are needed by all level of schools from kindergarten,
primary, secondary and college/universities. There are also many private language institutions who need ESL conversational lectors. Professionals, business people, school teachers and parents also want to become proficient in conversational English. There is a greater demand for "native" English speakers than who are currently available.
