TEFL Scotland is currently recruiting for TEFL internships in China.
These internships in China are with a programme dedicated to improving English language ability and fostering East-West cultural exchanges. A perfect opportunity for newly-qualified TEFLers. they are ideally looking for college/university students interested in an internship, students finishing high school or existing graduates looking to gain international work experience. The positions offer truly exceptional benefits so every aspect of living and working in China is covered. Further training and other teacher development opportunities are available to help you as you start teaching, and you will be working with an assistant teacher in and out of the classroom, so you will always have plenty of support.
Internships are a great way to use your TEFL certificate – programmes like these often arrange all of the details for you, taking the stress out of moving half way across the world! That way, you can head off to experience the wonders of China safe in the knowledge that you don’t have to worry about arranging accommodation, bills or visa paperwork. Internships are also great for your future career. If you want to continue with TEFL, these positions will also gain you a certificate from the Chinese government when you finish to attest to the number of teaching hours completed. In these positions, you’ll get valuable experience teaching both adults and children of a range of ages and levels.
If you are looking into teaching English in China as an opportunity to take some time out from studying or employment, an internship will let you travel and try something different while improving your future career prospects. Employers in any field recognise the value of internships and gaining real world work experience, and will be very impressed by the independence and adaptability shown by someone who has worked on the other side of the globe! Interning in China is also a great opportunity to learn an important new language by immersing yourself in Mandarin, an increasingly valuable skill in the modern global economy. Internships also offer a great way to teach in China without a degree.
Positions for these internships are mostly available in the south-east of China, in Jiangsu province and Shanghai. As an exceptionally well-connected part of the country, it’s easy to travel from here to visit other parts of China and all of the amenities you would need are in reach. Jiangsu province is famous for its cultural traditions, such as renowned forms of opera, silks and many varieties of tea, making it a great place to stay to experience traditional China. Shanghai is a huge city and one very popular among TEFL teachers for offering all the necessary comforts and opportunities. It is the most developed city in mainland China and attracts huge numbers of tourists from around the world. These areas offer lots to do, whether you want to drink at a traditional tea house or head to amusement parks for some modern thrills.
