It also tends to be the tense that can often present some difficulties to the English language learner and sometimes the English language teacher.

Students are asked to spot the changes and to express the change using the Present Perfect. For example in Picture A, a pile of unironed clothes can be seen next to the ironing board but in picture B the clothes are ironed. So the student would say "He has done the ironing." Another example answer would be, "He has hung up the towel." There are also...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Over the past three years, I've had the privilege of teaching English as a foreign language online for a company called Education First.

Unfortunately, I was not educated enough in the specific challenges that Mandarin speakers faced in their attempt to learn English. I'm scheduled to begin teaching in China later this year, and it has become clear to me that I need to drill into the specific challenges faced...  [Read more]

The straightforward answer is no; the Chinese government mandates foreign English teachers to hold a Bachelor's degree or higher as a part of the visa application process. This requirement is in place to maintain a standard of education and ensure quality teaching within the country. Can I teach legally in China if I don't have a degree?
