You can teach English in China without a degree (and 3 other myths people think are true)

You can teach English in China without a degree (and 3 other myths people think are true) Picture this. After packing your things and traveling across the world, you arrive in China. You step into the classroom where you will be teaching. Staring back at you are 20 pairs of young eyes. As you look around, you notice the windows at the side of the room and the courtyard outside where children play during the day. The walls are a light blue color and there are books and toys scattered at the back of the room. The noise of children talking has just died down and they’re waiting for you to say something. You’re ready to start your first lesson as an English teacher. How did you get here in the first place? Making the decision to teach English in China may seem daunting. If you happen to be a fresh grad, this may well be a job you never thought you’d consider. So I’m sure you have 100 questions - I know I did. What are the requirements for teaching English in China anyway? We’re glad you asked! There are some common myths about teaching English in China that we’d like to clear up. Here are four important ones about what type of education and experience you need to get the job. 1: “I can teach English in China without a degree.” Nope! You really can’t. Not anymore, at least. Here’s why: Although you don't need to have any teaching experience or a formal teaching credential, the Chinese government have been busy tightening things up on the Z visa front over the past few years. Nowadays, reputable teaching jobs in China now require successful candidates to hold a bachelor’s degree of some kind. Z visa in a nutshell Back up a minute, I hear you say. What’s a Z visa? Well, a Z visa just so happens to be the only visa that allows overseas teachers to legally work in China. Needless to say, it’s critical that you’re working in China under the proper legal status. This means you’ll need to abide by the Chinese government’s regulations - or they won’t grant you a visa in the first place. Pretty standard stuff. Takeaway: if a school or a recruiter claims that you don’t need a degree to land a teaching job in China, beware. Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. A note on ESL job scams in China While a few schools may still claim that you don’t need a degree to teach English at their schools, this is not a good thing. There are lots of scams out there, despite the Chinese government’s best efforts to crack down on these shenanigans, many of which target aspiring ESL teachers online. We don’t want you to get caught up in one. A huge red flag is any school or recruiter asking for a deposit of any kind up front - those supposed dream teaching jobs in China likely don’t even exist. If you do fall victim to an ESL teaching job scam in China, then best case scenario, you probably won't get the same salary and benefits as your colleagues with degrees. Worst case scenario, you’ll be running afoul of China’s working visa laws. Oh! And don’t think that you can fake that all-important degree, either (although we know you wouldn’t dream of it ). The Chinese government now requires all qualifications to be apostilled. That’s an internationally recognized form of authenticating documents, in case you’re wondering. 2: “I didn’t major in English so I’m not qualified to teach it.” This is not true! The good news about being a new grad is that there are many opportunities to teach English abroad, and China is no exception. Your major really doesn’t factor into the equation for hiring schools in China. The growth of people in the country who want to learn English means that demand is increasing faster than ever. And so the demand for teachers is increasing too. Native-English speakers with a variety of education backgrounds are highly sought after for these teaching positions. So, with a Bachelor of Arts, Science, heck, even Engineering, Dance or Environmental Studies - can you teach English in China? Yes! There are options available for you. If this describes you, what you should keep in mind is that the best teaching positions (the ones that pay the highest salary and have the best benefits) are competitive. To be more competitive, consider supplementing your undergraduate degree with a TEFL certificate. Recommending reading: Why teaching English in China is a popular choice for new graduates. 3: “I need to be a certified teacher to teach in China.” FALSE! While being a licensed teacher will make you more competitive to teach in China, it is not required to secure a teaching job. Let’s say you have an undergraduate degree and a TEFL certification - you’d be a great candidate! If teaching is your passion, and you want this experience to kickstart your career, by all means go back to school and secure a teaching license. This will certainly skyrocket you to the top of the recruitment list for hiring schools abroad. But with a desire and passion to go abroad, only having an undergraduate degree and TEFL will work totally fine. The top tier teaching jobs in China (full-time positions at private or international schools) do like candidates with two years of work experience, but this can be in any field â€" it doesn’t have to be in teaching. 4: “I need previous teaching experience to land an English teaching job in China.” Wrong again. Many recent graduates go on to teach in China without any formal teaching experience. You do not need to have any prior teaching experience to get a teaching job in China, so long as you have a TEFL certificate. Many of the Chinese provinces require you to have 120 hour TEFL course, so going for the 120 hours is the best way to make you competitive for the highest number of positions. As always, having both teaching experience and TEFL is the dream team. Recommended reading: 5 reasons why you should teach in China How was today’s lesson? Now that we’ve debunked those four myths around requirements to teach English in China, you can continue your exploration English teaching job hunt with ease. There is, of course, a lot more to cover, like the visa process, what it’s like to live in China and average salaries. You can read about these on our handy teaching English in China info page. To recap, as a minimum, you need to have: An undergraduate degree TEFL certification No matter what, be sure to do your research about the schools you are applying to. Not every place is going to be reputable - and you’d want to know before you get there. Teach Away’s Explore Program helps recent grads get teaching jobs with partner schools in China.

One Week Traveling in China - The Scenic Route

One Week Traveling in China - The Scenic Route If you’re teaching abroad in China or elsewhere in Asia, be sure to find the time to travel through China. Earlier, we posted a possible itinerary for exploring Beijing and Shanghai, but there’s much more to experience in China. Take a look at the following one week travel itinerary of a trip to the Guangxi province of China.Day 1 - GuilinTo begin your trip to China, fly to Guilin. Home to 12 ethnic minorities, Guilin lies amongst lakes, rivers and picturesque limestone karsts. First off, head to Elephant Trunk Hill. The hill with a natural hole has become the symbol of Guilin; a boat tour will get you the best view.Day 2 â€" Rice TerracesGet up early and head to the rice terraces of Longsheng, about a 2-hour bus ride from Guilin. Set among small villages, the terraces are an incredible sight year around. In the spring, the flooded paddies resemble scales, giving the ridge its name of the “Dragon Backed Mountain.” Hiking through these terraces will give you a stunning view of the rice fields and surrounding hills.Day 3 â€" Li River CruiseYou’ll have already seen some incredible scenery on this trip, but this river cruise will take your breath away. Boats slowly guide visitors down the Li River, through picturesque hills, rock formations and past scenes illustrating rural life in China. A guide will make the landscape come to life with legendary stories and myths. Once you arrive in Yangshuo, stroll through the small town, enjoy some fabulous food, and explore the night market. If you’re an outdoor enthusiast, consider staying for another day for a bike ride through the scenic countryside or a great climbing excursion.Day 4 â€" Travel to Nanning and the Detian WaterfallsYou’ll need to travel from Yangshuo to Nanning â€" a half-day trip â€" in order to make your way to the China-Vietnam border to see the famous Detian Waterfalls (Ban Gioc in Vietnamese).

The old street in Beihai features colonial buildings, and the Underwater World highlights the area’s rich marine diversity and China’s naval history. Make sure to try a variety of delicious local seafood for dinner.Day 6 â€" Return to GuilinAfter making your way back to Guilin, take time to explore the city. Stroll through the underground markets to pick up any souvenirs, and watch the artificial waterfall in the large city square at night.China, a vast and diverse country, features more incredible sights than visitors can explore on one short trip.

Killing the Lazy Stoner

Killing the Lazy Stoner source: www.fanpop.comA group of dangerous drug abusers source: twitter.comDangerous drug user/criminal Lately there has been a monstrous resurgence of pot culture in film and television, I am not even going to bring up music and how much they love it.  The revealing of Obamas Choom gang in high school happened; we as a country learned that our commander in chief was most assuredly a blazed out-of-his-mind pothead on the reggie in high school, dude.  Its becoming easier to find media where main characters partake in the magic dragon.  From Mark Wahlberg hittin the bong over 1,000 times in Ted, to the goofballs in Workaholics, or even little innocent Mr. Frodo (I mean Elijah Wood) ripping the homemade water bottle bong with his dog in FXs Wilfred multiple times an episode.  These are just a few examples, but I have a word limit to adhere to so I will not press on.  Not only that, but in childrens television shows such as Regular Show, clocks and VCRs in the cartoon commonly have the time 4:20 pictured on them.  Pot culture is basically everywhere all over your TV always.  There i s no escape. In most of these examples pot is just a funny thing the characters do because they are goofy and weird as it has always been.  A few stand out, though.  In Wilfred, Elijah Wood plays a burnt out, guilt ridden lawyer who befriends his neighbors dog and smokes weed with him all day.  In most shows potheads dont look or behave like Elijah Wood, and they arent lawyers either.  In HBOs Bored to Death a 60 year old Ted Danson is the eccentric editor of a large, successful magazine who runs around with  Zach Galifianakis and Jason Schwartzman smoking weed and solving crimes.  Again we see a character who is successful, lucrative, well respected, an intellectual, and a pot smoker. source: fordopepurposesonly.blogspot.comHe used to be a doctor  and now he is just another filthy pot smoking criminal. With marijuana entering the mainstream it is apparent that our collective attitude toward pot in America is drastically distancing itself from traditional thought.  It isnt that hard to turn on the TV and find some show where characters, who are well adjusted with no major character faults or problems, use marijuana.  Almost like role models, but for stoners.  Not that those never existed, maybe youve heard of the Beatles or President Obama, but it is refreshing to see that our cultural attitudes are still something we can  malleate.  It is high time we  amend  our feelings toward marijuana whether we like it or not.

Fire Lessons From a Sonoma County Native Dealing With Disaster as a Student

Fire Lessons From a Sonoma County Native Dealing With Disaster as a Student Image via Pixabay Throughout the day and into the week, officials posted fire maps periodically with updated hot spots, but they were hard to interpret amidst the widespread panic pouring through social media. The severity of the fires increased faster than anyone could imagine. After just a few days, the federal government declared the Northern California fires to be a national emergency. The New York Times, NPR, LA Times and other renowned outlets were covering my town like I’d never seen before. Media-makers and newspapers used phrases like “apocalyptic” and “devastating” to describe the chaos taking place in Sonoma and Napa counties, and videos of my most frequented streets and locations in my little neighborhood resembled full-blown infernos. Historic landmarks were obliterated. The high winds that began these fires late Sunday night into Monday morning continued to exacerbate existing fires (and create new ones) by transporting embers through the air and setting them down in random places. For the past six days, I lived a scenario I called “Schrodinger’s house”: I had no idea at times whether my house was still standing or had already burned. I couldn’t believe that my best friend of 10+ years and I were having a text message conversation about whether our houses and streets (directly parallel to one another) would be there in the end. When my graduate school classmates at San Jose State University found out I was from Santa Rosa, they cringed and (understandably) offered confused condolences. No one was sure how to help. Not even I was sure how to help my town, my family or myself with a tragedy that nobody predicted to become so severe, much less happen at all. I began to think about how college students might respond to such a serious and unexpected natural disaster. While the phrase “appreciate what you have until it’s gone” always came across as cliche to me, I really understood it on October 9, 2017. Sonoma County, CAImage via Pixabay Over 10 of my former high school classmates, neighbors, and family friends lost their homes in the past six days, and 2.5-3 hours away from the scene, I watched my town crumble. But this was particularly shocking to deal with as a student. I want to share three takeaways for college students dealing with natural disaster or students across the country who want to support my town and my state in the midst of this devastation: 1. Do not underestimate the power of community For Northern Californians, the catastrophic fires that raged this past week have been perplexing, devastating, and awful at best but they certainly proved that “the love in the air is stronger than the smoke.” #sonomacountystrong and #wewillrebuild were just a few of the many hashtags that emerged out of this tragedy, uniting strangers across Facebook groups designed to connect residents with resources, donations, evacuation notices, and updates on the status of their homes. Community organizations and restaurants donated meals, entire stores full of product, and shelter to those displaced by the fires. Individuals worked tirelessly on the “Santa Rosa Firestorm Updates” group to quell people’s unrest and spread information as well as they could. Never had I been prouder of my hometown. It’s likely that students affected by other tragedies (Hurricane Harvey or Irma, for instance) may be able to relate to these sentiments in some way. College students should remember that the resilience of a community can lift individuals out of a dark place. Never question the potential for neighbors, friends, family, and strangers alike to help each other when disaster strikes. 2. Appreciate the people, not the products When I came across pictures of flame-engulfed houses just minutes away from my mother’s house, I began spiraling into questions: Which documents are in the house that I might need? Will I need to reorder my college diploma? What do I do if I lose the photo albums? All of this was concerning, of course. But the entity of highest value in the house my mother was safe. My message to students? If facing a natural disaster, it makes complete sense to worry about your belongings. As I said to my mother, who for the past week has tried to become okay with either outcome for the house, “even though you know you’d be okay if it was gone, it would be a lot more convenient for the house to still be there when you get back.” Nonetheless, all you really need is your people. Your friends or family are the most important, in the larger context. 3. Prepare for the unexpected, even if it seems distant or unlikely Sonoma County is accustomed to smaller fires popping up often in Northern California (usually, the further North you travel, the more often fires crop up, since the area is dense with trees). Despite this, my town did not think such a huge firestorm could erupt locally. My mother woke up Sunday night to a text from a friend letting her know there were fires in the area, but because we are so used to smelling smoke from the other fires further north, she went back to sleep. Hours later, as she awoke to the sounds of explosions and neighbors shouting at each other to flee, she realized that disaster was taking place. As college students, we preoccupy ourselves with courses, work, internships, professional development matters, and student organizations. These demands are immediate and routine for us. But we rarely think about what would happen if a fire, earthquake, hurricane, tornado or other storm were to run through our town. “Disaster doesn’t discriminate.” It can happen to anyone regardless of whether you believe you are a “good” person, whether you have the money to rebuild, or whether you live in the fanciest neighborhood in town. It happened to me, and it could happen to you; stay grateful, stay resourceful, and stay resilient if it does.
