Teenagers in Taiwan are not unlike teenagers in most other countries. Their focus is on pop culture, music, friends and spending mommy and daddy's hard earned money. Their lives revolve around study but their is increased focus on identity and material want. This is often a good way for teachers to connect with their students. If you're teaching this age group it is important that you also "keep up with the times".
Attitudes toward teachers are different with this age group as student enter their "rebellious" phase of life where they challenge thoughts and "traditional" ways of thinking. This is why connecting with them on their level is important for progression.
Many middle school and high school students will study from 8am-5pm in public schools and will then attend various buxibans in the evenings, often until 8, 9 or 10pm. Life for these students revolves around getting into a good Taiwanese university so getting good grades is critical.

“Footprints was the first company that I applied with and it will probably be the last, Footprints will be my first choice as a recruiter anywhere I want to teach. They helped me get exactly where I want to be and they always keep in touch wanting to know how you are doing and that makes you feel 100% safe. Mountain hiking here is amazing, the sights are beautiful, on the way up there are many temples to see, or if you prefer to only hike half way up, stop by the waterfall and have yourself a nice Korean meal; there are restaurants everywhere in this country. This is an experience of a life time, and I only hope that there are many other people that will be as lucky as me, and get a chance to experience this wonder of a country. I hope that if you are looking to work overseas that Footprints is your choice for a recruiter...trust me on that, they will get you were you want to go.”
