A Guide to Teaching English in China
Prepare for Teach Abroad
Set Goals
Setting clear goals will help you maximize your teaching experience in Thailand. Here are some ideas for establishing meaningful objectives:
- Research and read about the teaching styles and expectations of the Thai education system. Take note of the relationships and dynamics of fellow teachers with their classrooms and work toward emulating something similar that works for you.
- Continue to learn or brush up on the Thai language! If there wasn’t a strict language requirement for your program, it’s a great way to foster more meaningful interactions and relationships with students and staff alike.
- Find a hobby or interest that you already like within Thai culture. Connect with people and learn more about Thailand’s culture and history through it.
Understand the Benefits
Teaching in Thailand brings a unique set of rewards, from personal growth to resume-building achievements:
- Become a better, more inclusive teacher. Teaching abroad can help you become more empathetic and understanding of different learning styles, cultures, and ways to teach.
- Great food. The affordability and the deliciousness of every meal on the street or in a restaurant in Thailand is downright astounding. It’s actually cheaper and more affordable to eat out than at home. It’s a part of the culture and is a bright spot of the country’s culture.
- Location, location, location. Thailand is situated in a roughly centralized location within the Asian continent, making it a great home base. It also isn’t a bad option if you’re looking to travel south toward Australia or New Zealand.
Things to Know
To succeed in Thailand, it helps to understand a few key aspects:
- Language: Always check for language requirements for any program. Mandarin is the official language of China. Many people speak English but knowing the basics of the predominant language can help you communicate and connect better with your school.
- Visa requirements: A Z visa is necessary to work in China. Other requirements for ESL jobs may include foreign expert certification and a resident permit. Check with your program requirements or the host country’s embassy for up-to-date and current details.
- Cultural etiquette: Colleagues will invariably invite you out—take them up on their hospitality, especially early on. There are plenty of ways to greet others in China (so make sure to do your research), but one of the easiest ways is to respond with a small bow or nod. China is big on being outright respectful to their elders. Everything from social interactions to mealtimes are times when you can show respect.
- Health and safety: The country has low instances of violent crime. Still, it never hurts to be vigilant for those trying to take advantage of visitors. It is still a good idea to drink filtered or bottled water. Read up on the current health and safety regulations of China and your program. Create backup documents (passport, visa, etc.), and plans, and have emergency money handy. Get vaccinations and any check ups needed well before you go.
Frequently Asked Questions
The most important document to teach in China is a Z visa. Other requirements generally vary from one school or institution to another. You can get the latest info from the embassy in your country.
Most employers require at least a Bachelor’s degree and TEFL certification. Other qualifications could include work experience and native English skills, depending on the school. Know the eligibility requirements before sending your application.
The monthly salary for foreign teachers in China typically ranges from $1,000 to $3000, sometimes even more. How much you get generally depends on your experience and qualifications as well as the employer and location.
There is always a need for foreign teachers in China. This is due to the year-on-year shortage of teachers (by the thousands!) all over the country, increasing consumption of English education, and a lesser number of applicants.
