[quote=DUNC ,32920]Joker,It's easy enough without a TESOL/TEFL qualification, so long as you have a Degree or higher. Some schools, (like mine) offer increased pay scales for a higer level of education. We also had one teacher last year with no degree but had obtained a TESOL. He did have some difficulty finding other work for the new year because of his lack in formal higher ed., even though he was probably better qualified to teach English than many 'Degree holders' of which many have never stood in a classroom in their lives!The Govt. here is apparently tightening up the visa system, meaning teachers should enter the PRC with work visas already in place, however I know of teachers who have still entered China on tourist visas and simply upgraded, although this greatly depends on the relationship with the local PSB. (allegedly).GOOD LUCK..ps before entering any agreement, make sure you have everything, and I mean EVERYTHING in writing...accom. rules(travel costs,visitors,drinking water,power costs,internet + PC availability, phone charges etc)/security bonds/holiday pay.99% of schools are probably completely fair and honest but there's always one, (in every country) that'll try to take advantage.[/quote]
