Teaching English as a Foreign Language
Opportunities in the UK can be hard to come by, especially for those who are looking to break into the world of teaching. Every school will want their teachers to have relevant experience, and this can be frustrating for people starting out, because you need to be given an opportunity to get that experience.
That’s why more and more people are heading abroad. China is a country which is currently offering a wide range of placements for English teachers, and you don’t have to know any Chinese whatsoever to be accepted as an English teacher, you don’t even need teaching experience.
There’s no doubt that this is a big early career decision, and if you’re considering moving to China to teach English as a foreign language, you should make sure everything is properly planed. You can set up schemes through a British country so you’ll always have a point of contact if anything goes wrong. So remember, there are opportunities elsewhere, in different countries.
