Teaching English in China
by Tim Neal
Joined since: 2005 - 2006
Origin: U.S.A
Landing in China can be either a rewarding, learning experience in this eastern land of adventurous promise or a frustrating, chaotic, experience .The choice of this experience lies partly with the teacher and mostly with a bizarre combination of factors that go by various names such as luck, destiny and yes, even karma.
Having been here only 4 months I could sum up my experience here so far in one word: learning. No matter what the conditions or how fantastic the adulation showered on you, ultimately this is what it boils down to. Teach in China and you end up being a student yourself. An unwilling, grumpy learner or a grateful and eager learner, the choice is yours.
Practical Considerations
The ways to get into China are fairly straightforward, be it through the friendly contacts or through the omnipresent Internet or through placement agencies. The way doesn’t matter really. But investing months or years of your life and your career in a new land is a risk you have to consider.
The location of your school is pretty important, from what I’m told. There is more to China than Beijing and Shanghai. A fair number of cities are quite well-developed and can certainly provide you with a wonderful peek into the heart of China and Chinese people are very helpful in offering reviews of various regions. Looking for a mild winter? Head to South China. Prefer a balanced mix? Consider East China with its beautiful beaches. I’ve been advised to avoid as much as possible the Northwest, said to be generally the least developed section of China, unless you are really looking to rough it.
If I was going to advise someone about coming here, from my limited experience, I would say start with these two steps:
1. Learn as much as you can about China and the experience of teaching English in China. Indispensable for these purposes is Living in China by Rebecca Weiner, Margaret Murphy, and Albert Li. The book not only provides incredibly useful advice on many aspects of living and teaching in China, it also contains a virtually complete directory of Chinese schools of higher education.
2. Once you know something about China and what to expect from the teaching experience, decide on a list of schools to apply to. Use the directory in Living in China. You can try using the Internet as well.
I really want to explore this fascinating country, and at the same time maximize my earning potential so I plan to stay for at least three years. Chinese students are a joy to teach. They are obedient, reverent and have a refreshing tradition of respecting their teachers. Economically, China is the fastest-growing, most vibrant market in the world. Teaching ESL is an exciting way to simultaneously learn about its storied history and take part in its rapid transformation.
