The South Korean government now accepts applicants from non-Western countries where English is an official language, e.g., India and the Philippines. According to the Korea Times, “a bachelor’s degree or above in English studies and teaching licenses” are required (Kang 2008). Another article adds, “Indians with teaching licenses in their home country will be allowed to teach English conversation classes at elementary and secondary schools” (Kang 2009b). You may want to contact the South Korean consulate/embassy in India and Indians in Korea (www.indiansinkorea.com) for more specific assistance regarding the status of TEFL certificates.
