[quote=LEMONCACTUS ,32905]The advice you have here is pretty accurate Jokerman.Though I think I'm right in saying that primary schools in China are not allowed to employ foreign teachers. So you would be looking at working in a middle school or high school. There are opportunities to work with younger children in the private language school sector.It really does depend on the individual institution. Currently either a BA/BSc/first degree OR a TESOL will definitely get you a teaching job as long as you are a NATIVE speaker. If you have both, or better, you can pick just about anywhere you like.There are teaching vacancies all over China, and there won't be a glut of schools in one place with a specific policy. Your best idea is to visit some of the dedicated websites (and there are loads). Dave's ESL Cafe is a great place to start looking.Griz, again, I think experience does (and should) count for a lot but as China wises up to the fact that native speaker does not necessarily equal good English teacher, the desire for teaching experience or formal education increases. As with all things, it's worth a try and there is no National 'standard' in China for what English teachers should/shouldn't have.... but things are changing all the time!Good luck :)[/quote]
