English Language Teaching in China

China is a country like no other- its grandeur, its sheer size and its multitude of contrasts all make it a unique experience for any visitor. Scratch the surface and you will begin a stimulating journey into an ancient and fascinating civilization.

From Shanghai's ultra-modern skyscrapers and bustling nightlife to Tibet's awe-inspiring monasteries and timeless traditions, China's diverse culture, magnificent landmarks and alluring natural beauty make it the most invigorating and inspiring destination for a year teaching English abroad.

Today, barriers of language, culture and geography divide people around the world. EF’s educational programs help people of all nationalities and ages become citizens of the world.
