LANGUAGECORPS' NEW TEACHCHINA PROGRAM

LanguageCorps’ TeachChina Program provides a comprehensive blend of training and orientation, guaranteed job placement, and varied financial incentives to ensure you have a secure, rewarding English teaching adventure.

The TeachChina Program begins with an intensive TESOL training and Certification phase. The first 2 weeks of TESOL training take place in Phnom Penh, Cambodia (including a great excursion), followed by an additional 2 weeks in China for local orientation and practice teaching:

In Cambodia

• Airport pick-up in Phnom Penh, welcome dinner and orientation.
• TESOL Certification: 2 weeks of classroom work at our Southeast Asia headquarters at Pannasastra University in Phnom Penh.
• Excursions that include a tour of the area around Phnom Penh and a 3-day trip to Siem Reap to explore Angkor Wat.

In China

• Two weeks of additional training at your destination site, where you complete your course with lesson preparation, practice teaching, and observed teaching.*
• Unlimited Mandarin lessons and country orientation at your destination school in China.

Job Placement

Following your 2 weeks of classroom work and travel in Phnom Penh, you continue on to China to finish your TESOL training and practice teaching in the location where you will ultimately work. Your teaching position will be at one of our affiliated schools in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanghai, or Beijing. Job assignments rely heavily on your individual qualifications and preferences, which we always seek to accommodate. China’s complex systems of city-specific regulations and work permits can complicate things, but you will be advised of your specific job options before you commit to the TeachChina program. These prescribed options are for your protection, as the consequences of violating local laws can be significant: it is not unheard of for teachers working illegally to be expelled from the country! To ensure that this does not happen, LanguageCorps only places participants at schools that conform to local laws.
