Taiwan: Types of English teaching jobs

The franchise schools advertise on tealit.com.  As of this writing, the big names are Kojen, Sesame Street, Hess, Joy English.  I, or my friends have experience with some of them:

Kojen.  It pay $590 TWD per hour.  It has its own curriculum.  A foreign teaches an hour of class and a Taiwanese the next hour.  Up to 25 students are allowed in one class.  There are no computer or electronic aids of any type.  I was offered a job there but as you can imagine, I did not take it.

Sesame Street also has their own curriculum which includes all the favorite SS characters.  The first book focuses on listening and speaking.  There are no words in the first book.  The Teacher's manual directs every move you make such as, "Put your right hand in the air and point with you wiggle your little finger in a circular motion."

Joy English:  They also have their own curriculum and direct every movement..
