Teach and Earn in China

The programme will begin with a four week introductory and training period, training will focus on the best way to manage a class, the types of things that you will be teaching and how you should conduct yourself in the classroom.

Part 1: Introduction - Get to know the training staff and the other participants, and an introduction to the local area and helped to gain an understanding of the customs and culture of China. You will also receive ‘survival’ language lessons, to help you get by throughout your time in the country.

Part 2: Chinese Culture - This part is an in depth introduction of the Chinese school systems, how to plan lessons and the student psychology. Part two also includes an excursion, which could be a trip into the countryside, to the mountains, to a tea plantation or some other seasonal adventure!

Part 3: Learning how to teach - In this section you will obviously learn more about teaching the students. This will involve observing lessons that are lead by both Chinese and foreign teachers.

Part 4: The teaching practice - Exactly what it says on the tin – you are able to try out your newly learned skills by having a go at teaching your peers in practice sessions and also helping the teachers in local schools. This will hopefully allow you to begin your placement with much more confidence.
