[English-undergrad] Fwd: [EPIK - SP 2027] Spring 2027 Recruitment Notification

Thu Jul 30 18:28:14 PDT 2026

Hello Everyone,

I’m forwarding some materials that allow UCR undergraduates to apply for positions to teach English in Korea.

The program is called “English Program in Korea” - EPIK.

It is similar to the JET program recruiting college graduates to teach in Japan.

Here is a link to the website: https://www.epik.go.kr/web/epik/main

Application related materials are below. Applications open August 1, for spring 2027.

FYI,

Take care,

jt
