It is quite a bit of challenge to teach English in China as the ESL teachers
are probably the only source of learning English. In China, English is not
at all common and the official language of this country is Mandarin. The
students will be learning English from scratch. In China, apart from the
schools many language schools hire English teachers for taking classes. The
contracts of the teachers are usually for six months. The contract can be
extended on mutual consent. The English teachers in China are well paid and
the teachers with a degree and experience get more. The teachers are given
well furnished accommodations by the schools free of cost and some other
advantages too. The money you make while teaching English as second language
in China will also help you in sponsoring your trip in this country.
If the ESL teachers get job in a regular schools they will have to work from
Monday to Friday and take approximately 24 classes per week. The teachers
will also get holidays on the Chinese national holidays and the school
vacations. In case of working in language schools, the teachers will not get
holidays in the weekends as the classes mostly take place on Saturdays and
Sundays and in the evening. But the teachers will surely be given one day
off in a week. In the language schools the students will be adults mostly
working in different a institution that is the reason why the teachers are
expected to be present on weekends.

get a placement in the language schools they will not have a regular
