In some schools, although rare, everything will be left for you to decide.

What you teach
Your assignment is to improve their English. What’s that? well, In most cases, their primary interest in you, as a foreign teacher, is to learn English. They can (and do) read technical material about your field in textbooks. Anyway, nearly all foreign teachers are teaching English–conversation, writing, literature, etc. Your students have studied English for about 7 or 8 years, on average, yet they can barely speak the language. They have learned everything from textbooks. They may know English grammar better than you do. They have always had Chinese English teachers who can barely speak English themselves.

Qualifications:
A lot of conversation schools, public schools and universities only ask for a post-secondary degree. You should be a native English speaker. Some school positions, especially international school teachers and university professors, require a teaching certificate or advanced degrees. Many other schools do not required teaching certificates. Schools, however, will generally favor those with more qualifications and experience than those without.

Visas are required by all foreigners entering mainland China . At this stage, visas are not required by Western nationals visiting Hong Kong and Macau .

You will either be delivered the Z Visa before arriving or you can arrive on a Tourist Visa and then they’ll give it to you when they meet you. Its almost always good for an entire year. Getting the Z VisaThe working visa that the school provides is a multiple entry visa.

• You must be able to support yourself without access to public funds, as well as pay for the course and all accommodation and maintenance.
• It is essential that applicants state that they intend to return to their home country after the course is completed.

• require education providers to vouch that a new course represents genuine academic progression;
• ensure that maintenance funds are genuinely available to the applicant, by introducing a declaration on the visa application form;
• commit to publish a list of financial institutions that we consider, on the basis of experience, do not verify financial statements to our satisfaction in more than 50 per cent of a sample of cases;
• introduce a streamlined application process for low-risk nationals applying to attend courses with Highly Trusted Sponsors;
• extend the list of courses for which students must receive ATAS clearance;
• restrict the ability to deliver accountancy courses accredited by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) to those sponsors accorded platinum or gold status by ACCA; and
• clarify the position of overseas universities with campuses in the UK.

Types of UK Visa


What is the points-based system?

The points-based system is the biggest shake-up of the immigration system for 45 years. The system has replaced over 80 existing routes to work and study in the United Kingdom with five tiers.
The points-based system (PBS) is a system for managing migration for those wishing to enter the UK for work or study.
The system allows British businesses to recruit the skills they need from abroad while providing assurances to the British public that only those migrants we need will be able to come to the United Kingdom.
Employers wishing to employ a migrant worker from outside the EEA may only do so if that worker already has unrestricted permission to work in the UK. Employers will need a Sponsor Licence to do this.
