Would you want an expat teacher who also took bribes?

Would you want an expat teacher teaching, encouraging and then allowing cheating?

Would you want male expat teachers taking students (middle/ high schoolers and university students) out to hotels?

I have to go... so on to my point

 

My students are studying English, along with the language comes the culture. And let's be honest, there are many aspects of Chinese teaching that go against actual learning (rote learning, don't ask questions of the teacher), when people learn a language they must be allowed feel comfortable enough to freely express themselves.  The Chinese teaching styles puts students down for making mistakes so students are less likely to express themselves. Yeah, I understand the history and reasons behind it but it is wrong for teaching period, especially language. I explain to my students how I do things differently and I clearly explain my expectations and then I hold them to it.

Proof to my point, there is a Chinese teacher who teaches completely contradictory to the Chinese style, especially when it comes to practical and real life practice. I never met a student who didn't say she was the best teacher they ever had.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
