English Teaching in China Seeing the Light of Day

Soaking in the best of Chinese experience along with the prospect of an English teaching career is hard to put down for most overseas candidates. The changing times and the prospect of launching an English teaching career in an abroad location like that of China have exactly opened the doors for such possibility.

The language of English has become the lingua franca of the world. China as the non-English speaking nation has been fast to adapt to the changing trends of demand for a foreign language which is incidentally most spoken and accepted internationally. But there are certain hurdles that need to be crossed for a candidate in order to turn the prospects of ESL jobs abroad or a Chinese teaching career into reality. 

The immediate problems that surface once a prospect from the overseas has his or her sights set on a teaching career in China are

•    Selection of the right school to teach
•    The setting up of proper accommodation.


In order to bail out the prospect of such impending problems, agency intervention has happened. Riding this unprecedented demand for English teachers overseas, the agencies have managed to earn their repute by helping a sizeable portion of candidates find their feet in places like China. Some of the agencies have already managed to be around for some time, one example can be the GT Union or Good Teachers Union. Good Teachers Union as an agency started functioning back in 2009.

The aim of the agencies can be divided as;

•    To aid a prospect launch a teaching career abroad
•    More importantly, guarantee an overall positive and memorable teaching experience.

The agencies operate free of cost, providing services that last the entire length of the teaching career abroad. Every possible problem of the candidates is paid heed to by the agencies that are likely to occur over the course of staying and English teaching in China. Stringent of measures are followed by the agencies including when it comes to the selection of the proper school to teach for the overseas candidate. Only the best possible working environment is set up to minimize the chances of discomfort.

A staying experience in China regarding accommodation is made to be special too by the agencies. The candidates have the choice of Studio apartments, multiple bedroom apartments, one bedroom apartments, courtyards and serviced apartments. There is another option of homestay, where a prospect can choose to live with a Chinese family who has an extra bedroom to spare.
