material to make the class interesting or emphasize what you think is
important. 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.

check for absence of HIV and drug use as well as TB. Your school will process
these forms. 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.
