TEFL Careers In China

Date posted:2012-02-07 | Writer: EF English First Xi'an | Email: [email protected]

EF English First Xi'an has four centrally located schools and has a reputation as the best English Language Training company in the city. We currently have opportunities for TEFL qualified teachers. Our schools are modern, well equipped and progressive and classes are based on EF's own syllabus and text books. We teach small classes of students, from children as young as 3 years old, all the way up to adults and corporate classes. Our student body is mostly Young Learners, so any applicant should expect to predominantly teach this age group.

In addition, we offer a continuous teacher development programme of training, observations and workshops. We employ around 40 foreign teachers across our four EF schools in Xi'an, which means that there's always someone on hand to offer some teaching advice and support, or to go and grab a bite to eat with.

There is a fantastic support system and network of both foreign and Chinese staff, meaning that our team is fully provided for in terms of both professional development and social opportunities. Teachers are never short of help and support at work, or of company and a full social life outside of work.

Xi'an is the second most visited city in China (the first being Beijing), mainly due to its status as home of the Terracotta Warriors and Capital of China for 13 dynasties. It's also located right in the middle of the country, making it an excellent base from which to make the most of your paid vacation days!

Xi'an is an incredible place to live because it has the modern, cosmopolitan bustle of a major city and the charming, traditional, cultural side of more rural China Xi'an has the best of both worlds. It's the ideal choice if you want somewhere historic, steeped in culture and thoroughly Chinese, without having to forgo easy travel, a convenient life and a home with all the mod cons!

Xi'an is a really cheap city in which to live. The cost of living here is very low in comparison to other Chinese cities, so your pay check really goes a long way and building up savings is easy to do.

Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online courses is broken down into concise units that focus on specific areas of English language teaching.

 

vocabulary is very important to the students, the following methods can all be used to help engage the students and to elicit meaning ,study activities can include words searches,crosswords, the activate stage of a vocabulary include :role-play,storybuilding,debate. Typical ESA vocabulary lesson includes engage ,study,activate .As well as vocabulary and grammar,language also consists of functions .Teaching pronunciation is very difficult for second language teachers. For me, I know how to pronounce a word but I don't know how to explain to my students, especially the professional word about the place of articulation. But an effective teacher consider the teaching of pronunciation an integral part of the course. I prefer to slot a certain amount of particular pronunciation work into each class.
