Hi all

My question is getting many varied and conflicting responses - hopefully someone on this forum can help.

I am a South African interested in teaching in South Korea, Taiwan or Japan. I have recently completed a CELTA qualification and have a National Diploma in Journalism from The Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in Port Elizabeth, SA. My question is this: I do not have a BA (my university qualification is equivalent to one though by SA standards - a 3 year course), do I require an actual BA to get legal ESL teaching work in any of these countries? If I do, will my CELTA qualification stand me in any good steed instead? If not, what, if any, are my options?

Any information/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
