Q: Is anyone in Zhangjiagang?

Hi everyone, I just moved to Zhangjiagang and don't know anyone apart from my employers. I was wondering whether any of you live here, if you know of anyone who lives here, or if there is a site for expats that I can find which will tell me? It'd be great to catch up with someone and have a conversation in English, haha.

I dont live there but my good friend used to work there in EF, I've met a few guys that worked there, they might be the DOS or senior teachers by now but they are friendly.  You could always go over there and inquire about part time teaching and make friends.

I start read up about that place. Heard it's supposed to be very clean and friendly, with the local government being applauded for their work in keeping its citizens "civilised." Well, according to Wikipedia anyway!

Hi everyone,

 

I am a native citizen in Zhangjiagang and can speak English well. I am hoping to make friends more and keep practicing my English. In return, I can teach Chinese and offer necessary help during your stay here. Have a nice day ^_^

A:You can still skin into China as a non-English native teacher by holding English Teaching license in your home country.2nd: Your BA degree should be completed in a native English country. Once, you fulfilled these 'parameters', you qualify for an English teaching job in China as a non-native English sneaker with Z - Entry/Working visa with Working and Residence permit later on. See the last 'Answers Highlight' ---> there is a web link posted about 'requirements for teaching English language in China as a non-English native passport holder'. https://www.gooverseas.com/blog/guide-teaching-english-china#paragraph-item-63614-target

*English proficiency: Passport from one of seven "native speaker" countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa). If you aren’t a native speaker, you’ll need to be a certified teacher in your home country with proof of your English proficiency (e.g. IELTS or TOEFL). I'd say, Chinese will choose and look especially for a native English speaker at teaching of English Literature job openings. Posted job adverts for English Literature teaching are most likely from International Schools in China. Good luck! -- icnif77
