TEFL Jobs in Singapore
Singapore is a thriving metropolis on the tip of the Malay Peninsula. The world’s only island city-state, it is an important center of international trade and business with the second busiest port in the world. Once a colony of the British Empire, Singapore was founded by Sir Stamford Raffles in 1819 and his legacy can be seen in the monuments and place names that dot the city today. Since becoming independent from British rule in the 1960s, the city’s economy rapidly developed and Singapore is one of the original four “Asian Tigers” along with Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan. Although heavily urbanized, the governments “Garden City” policy has ensured that there is plenty of greenery around the city from tree-lined roads to numerous parks and nature reserves.
With a long history of immigration, Singapore is a truly cosmopolitan country. The majority of the population is ethnically Chinese but there are also Singaporeans with Indian, Arab and Malay heritage not to mention thousands of other residents from all over the world. There are four official languages; English, Mandarin, Malay and Tamil with English being the language of government and instruction. The city’s multicultural history can be seen in unique districts that grew up around their original settlers. These are the Colonial District, once the seat of British power in Singapore, Little India, Chinatown and the Arab Quarter.
