English Teaching Jobs in ChinaBeing a foreigner in China has it’s advantages. One

of the easiest and highest paid is English teaching.

The easiest way for any Chinese-speaker to learn how to speak English is in a classroom. That is because the

languages are so completely different.

Sometimes English-speakers can pick up a book on learning French or German and

learn it fairly quickly with the aid of a favorite television show or some commercials viewed

online to help them learn the actual pronunciation. That is because these

languages share a lot of common root words and grammar is similar sometimes.

That is not the case between English and Chinese, so someone who speaks English

is needed to come to a classroom to speak English, and write the words, and show these Chinese citizens who want

desperately to learn English just how to speak, read and write it themselves.

Most public schools will require that you have a bachelors degree to teach English in China. They also request that your native language is English

and that your passport reflects this. Some schools (but not all) require a 120-hour course

that shows you how to teach English as a second language.

Most of the time this can be waived if you have valid, proven experience on your resume that

you have already done this either in your home country with people who immigrated, or in

another country to teach English, and now you want to do it in China.

These are just what is asked for, however. There are still ways of

teaching English in China if you don’t meet one or any of these criteria.

Maybe you don’t have the Bachelor’s degree requested. (This usually takes four years of full-

time study in the US or Canada or 3 years in the UK or Australia.) If you have a certificate that shows you have classroom experience and a certificate that shows excellent English (beyond just being a

native speaker), then you may be able to get a recruiting office to take you into consideration.

Also, an Associate’s degree plus the 120-hour TEFL program is enough for many

smaller classroom, entry level positions. Then, once in China, you can move your

way up to more students, or older students who might have a tougher curriculum.

It can be a little tricky to get around the English native rule, but if you can prove through testing or an interview that you can speak, write, and

read English very well, then you may be able to circumvent this rule.

You may start out as a teacher’s assistant so they can see how you do with grading papers or how you do in the classroom, but you will

have opportunities to shine. However, because you lack the native-English component, you

will have to make sure that the other components that they are requesting are

there.

If English is your native language, but you just lack expertise in the classroom, some recruiting agencies will pay for the 120-hour TEFL course for you to get you into the program and set up at one of their

partner schools for the length you desire.

Your way in, since that first contract would give you the experience you need to continue. If you want to try teaching English as a second language before you move all the way across the world, or to another country at least, you can try looking for an immigration center or refugee center near you and ask if they need

someone to help teach English.

Most likely they will welcome you with open arms as there is a need for this everywhere with people constantly on the move. Some already have a set

curriculum in place that you will have to learn, and others don’t, but the internet can help with that. Start slow and for the first few classes, ask for an interpreter to be in the classroom to make sure your students understand how things will work.

Because it can be difficult for Ghanaians to speak audibly even when they’ve studied and spoken English for a very long time,

many times they are not good candidates for English teachers in China for public or

private schools.

However! That does not mean that a Ghanaian would not be able to find steady work as a

tutor after school for someone needing extra help with their English lessons, or for someone who could not afford the actual night classes put on in classrooms. Maybe someone can’t

leave their house due to disability to get to the classroom? This teacher could come to them.

The teaching employment in China rates for 2015 have skyrocketed, and it’s because over 300 million

Chinese are learning English, with more that are wanting to every day. More and more people, as they enter school is going to need to learn, and if

they are already past that and haven’t learned, they will need to as they enter certain job markets

because China is indeed becoming a global superpower.

. They have more and more Multinational Corporations (or MNCs) and those MNCs need people working for them, especially in management, who can communicate with the management teams of other

countries around the world.

Most business around the globe these days is done in English. China, having the largest

population of any other country on the planet, will need to keep pace with the number of people speaking English, and

they are trying.

We just have to get teaching employment in China even higher so that even more

people are learning English.
