Great to see there is a section for postgraduate student like us.
Initially I choose to pursue my master as I am interested in doing teaching work in university. However, I discovered that I just merely enjoy the process of teaching, instead of doing research.
1. I am thinking of continuing in research mode, or switch to coursework based, as I am not that interested in doing research. Should I make my move to change?
2. I enjoy doing teaching work instead of doing research. Is there any position just for so called a "teaching lecturer" in university?
Hope to hear some sincere opinion from you guys. Thank you.

1) Definitely yes. You need a passion for the topic you are going to be doing research in because you are going to stay with it for a minimum of 2 years. Dun force yourself to do something you dun like as then, it will not be sustainable.
2) Yes, of course there is a position for "teaching only/focused lecturer" in universities. But you have to look around. And also, you have to remember that in the academic line, only research papers/journals/PhD can get you higher. It really is a very competitive environment right now.
