Teaching English in China

Teaching English in China combines an unforgettable experience with a rewarding job. The demand for English language instruction in China has boomed in recent years despite English being part of the national curriculum in Chinese schools for a number of years. Teaching English in China with EF English First involves teaching children, teenagers and adults.

EF English First training centres have a maximum of 20 students in the classroom and students are attracted to our relatively small classes, which have a strong communicative element. It is practice in speaking and listening that they value most from EF English First classes.

Teaching English in China will allow you to interact with various different elements of Chinese society. Our courses are offered to all age groups with children, teenagers and adults studying general English programmes. Adults may also choose to follow Business English or preparation for Academic English exam like IELTS. Many training centres also offer courses conducted in local primary and middle schools.

Students tend to come from the more affluent sectors of Chinese society and attend classes for a variety of reasons. The most common reasons for investing in classes are to supplement school lessons, to progress in the workplace, to enhance and consolidate English speaking skills before embarking upon extended trips abroad, to prepare for impending IELTS examinations or as a form of recreation. Consequently, teaching English in China with EF English First also involves organizing and participating in regular social and marketing activities for the students.
