I looked into the ILP program for well over a year before I signed a contract and started packing my bags. For a year, ILP staff was on top of it with answering any questions I had about the various programs. I was accepted for a volunteer program and was ecstatic, shortly after, I heard about the professional program in Thailand and Taiwan and pulled my volunteer application. I was a semester and a half away from graduating with my bachelors and I decided I would apply for the paid program to teach in Taiwan. Over a year later, I am graduated and am currently teaching at an elementary school in Taiwan thanks to ILP and their professional program. The method used to teach is really the best way I can think about teaching a foreign language and seeing it in the school, it really works. I love my job and I will be here for at least a year. I love seeing these kids everyday and being called Teacha Sarah puts a smile on my face any time of the day. ILP made it possible for me to teach at this amazing school and I would recommend this program to anyone who is willing to expound their world view and truly find yourself and your ability to love through a different culture and people. It's hard some days, but so is everything that is worth living for. I have absolutely fallen in love with the country of Taiwan and each and every one of the kids I have the opportunity to teach. read more
