Why the surprise to see something written in the offical language of the country they are living in.

Problem is too many outsiders coming over here expecting to be spoon feed in their own language.

[BLACKCRUSADER]

Or buy a computer or smart phone and use google translate

It's close enough

A lot of ABC's CBC cant read Chinese

Also the phone number to call is listed.

What? Serious posting? Ok. Just this once. The article doesn't specifically mention the topic of online degrees, but seems to only discuss private tutors without work permits.

擔任私人家教老 師是否合法 = Are private tutors legal or not?

外國人未經雇主申請許可，不得在中華民國境內工 作 = foreigners who have not applied for work permits may not work in the republic of China.

However, despite this article not discussing this particular topic, it is common knowledge that online or distance degrees do not qualify for work permits for language teaching in Taiwan. Ironically, the rule has more to do with locals than foreigners. The rule exists mainly to prevent locals from opting out of the Taiwanese university system, by disqualifying foreign distance degrees for local professions. Many universities would see dramatic drops in enrollment (more than already experienced) if students could simply take an online program from universities like Cambridge in the comfort of their homes, as opposed to competing tooth-and-nail for a spot at TaiDa. To protect the uncompetitive local system, the government stipulates that the only recognized foreign degrees, from their point of view, are the ones done in-residence actually at the universities. This means only the rich, who can afford to live and study abroad, can bypass the Taiwan system. It also means foreigners are made subject to this rule as well. There is a possible loophole, however, for foreigners. Online degrees offered by universities with physical campuses may not incate that a degree was completed by distance education, as opposed to on-campus. For a Taiwanese, the government can catch these by looking at passport records, but they can't do this with people from abroad (unless you completed the program while living in Taiwan).

Cambridge has online degrees? lol wat.

Most online shitty degrees are from places like university of phoenix or devry institute. i doubt a taiwanese person could drop 50k a year on these shitty degrees.

[over_active_moderator]

Does you current university offer distance education? Most universities do.

Harvard recently asked its alumni to volunteer their time as "online mentors" and "discussion group managers" for an online course.
