Want to Teach English in China?
China is one of the oldest civilizations in the world, and is currently a growing and important economy.

This program provides a comprehensive blend of training and orientation, guaranteed job placement, and support services to help ensure you have a secure, rewarding English teaching adventure.
TESOL Training and Certification
The TeachChina Program begins with an intensive TESOL training and Certification phase. Click here for details of the TESOL certification. The 4-week TESOL training program takes place in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and includes a great excursion to Angkor Wat. You will also have a chance to meet participants in the other Asian programs, extending your LanguageCorps network and making great contacts for future travel or vacations. At the end of the four-week certification phase, you will travel to your destination city in China to begin your teaching position.
Job Placement
Your teaching position will be at one of our affiliated schools located throughout China. Job assignments rely heavily on your individual qualifications and preferences, which we always seek to accommodate, but job placements also require flexibility on your part. China's complex systems of city-specific regulations and work permits can complicate things, but if you are accepted into the TeachChina Program, we will guarantee that we will place you in a teaching position with good pay and benefits. 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 and provide work visas.
