While China may still be rife with teach abroad scams and schools that are looking to cheat foreign teachers, many schools are realizing the value of providing stable, secure jobs for their employees. They’ve realized that parents are wary of high turnover, and that it’s easier to renew a residence permit than to pay for a new work visa. For example, my company recently had a large turnover of foreign college counselors for various reasons. Many of the parents were concerned, hinting they may move their children to a rival company. Because of this, I have noticed that my current company places a very high value on my happiness and job satisfaction. They encourage me to speak up if I am having workplace issues, and they provide bonuses and raises for foreign staff who say for multiple years. Compared to many of my friends teaching at other schools in China, I feel lucky to have such a stable and secure position. However, I have met many other people who have also noticed this shift in attitude towards providing positive, secure positions to their foreign teachers. Personally, I’d predict that this will be the new trend in the upcoming decade.

The English language market is growing fast in China, and many new positions are becoming available. China is emerging as a global financial force, and with English firmly established as the global language of commerce, improving English competency amongst China’s citizens is a major focus for the Chinese government. Typically teaching in China will take place at private language schools, public schools, International Baccalaureate schools, or private international schools. Teachers entering into these Chinese teaching jobs can expect a competitive salary, which includes a variety of benefits, depending on the type of school. It should be kept in mind that salaries in China are lower than in other parts of Asia, but the cost of living is much lower as well, so teachers should expect to save a significant portion of their salary. Teachers should note that some ESL jobs in China have contracts that are known to change once the teacher arrives at their placement. For this reason, before sending anyone to teach English in China, Teach Away carefully screens its partner schools to ensure teachers will be entering into a safe, stable, and comfortable teaching environment, where all their professional and personal needs will be met. via Tumblr https://victorembrey.tumblr.com/post/160555523127 1) Reduce Teacher Talk Time from Muriel Carlisle Blog https://murielcarlisle.tumblr.com/post/160279912609 via Tumblr https://victorembrey.tumblr.com/post/160280062312 Almost two billion people – that’s around one in three people – study English as a second language. Where are the English teachers coming from and how can China attract them? from Muriel Carlisle Blog https://murielcarlisle.tumblr.com/post/160279902484 via Tumblr https://victorembrey.tumblr.com/post/160280062107 With an approximated 400+ million Chinese learning English, China represents the biggest job market in the world for teaching English and the demand for English teachers is tremendous. Language schools in China often provide foreign English instructors with such advantages as complimentary airline ticket reimbursement after one year, a housing allowance, medical insurance coverage, and paid vacation. via Tumblr https://victorembrey.tumblr.com/post/160279910112 Chinese is a pretty difficult language for English speakers to learn compared to Spanish or French. However, if you’re going to China, take the time to learn some basics. The words below appear both in Chinese characters and in pinyin, the form of Chinese that can be written with the Roman/English alphabet with the addition of some accent marks that indicate the tone of the word. Because Chinese is a tonal language, to really learn to say things correctly, use a Chinese friend or download a Pimsleur audio course through audible.com and/or use a Chinese app on your smart phone such as the ones pictured above. via Tumblr https://victorembrey.tumblr.com/post/160279900277 https://d1ql8fqd854eyo.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/teach-like-a-pirate-200×300.jpg https://d1ql8fqd854eyo.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/teach-like-a-pirate-200×300.jpg Teaching is one of the most challenging jobs in the world, but may also be the single most rewarding career one can pursue. How can a job be insanely difficult – yet amazingly rewarding at the same time? The answer is not quite so straight forward…let’s explore it below. The deciding factor in how hard it is to teach something comes down to four main factors: First is the ability of the teacher to create interactive, interesting lessons that engage their students. This is a skill that can be learned. One of the best books on this topic is Teach Like a Pirate by Dave Burgess. Second is the teacher’s mastery of the subject. If a teacher does not know the topic inside-out, you can rest assured at one point (and possibly many more) students will ask a question that the teacher does not know the answer to. If teaching beginners, approach your topic from a hypothetical point zero – assume you know absolutely nothing about it – consider what questions you’d have – and how to answer them. If a student asks a question you do not know the answer to, admit that you are unsure, but will find the answer and report back. Third is the teacher’s understanding of their students. Good teachers have a detailed understanding of their students’ background knowledge, interests, strengths, and weaknesses. When starting a new class, make a concerted effort to learn about your students. A great opportunity for this is during the orientation period – if possible get to know your students personally. You don’t have to be their best friend, but you should seek to be their mentor. Should you find yourself teaching a large group of students, consider their likely life-experience, age group, gender and cultural background. Fourth is the teacher’s level of skill at classroom management. Managing a classroom of 20-60 kids is extremely challenging. It can range from stressful and frustrating to chaotic and dangerous. Weak classroom management skills are the biggest reason that teachers leave the profession. One of the best books on classroom management is Teaching with Love and Logic by Jim Fay and David Funk. By investing time and effort into the areas above you can not only make a positive difference to your own experience teaching, but also make a life-changing impact on the students you teach.
