Q: Does anybody know when the winter holidays for teachers begin?

The Chinese teachers at my school always seem rather evasive when it comes to holiday periods. I was wondering if somebody on this forum is clued in with specific start and finish dates yet.

Cheers

In my school, we begin officially on the week of January 28 (week 21 of the school year), though some begin a week early, until February 22.

Yep, this is the answer that fits my school. Thanks

Depends on what kind of school you're teaching at. At university, I guess between late January until late February. At a high school or middle school, mid to late December, depending on how the run up to the exams is handled, until the beginning of March. At a Cram school, probably just the week of spring festival. Have you tried checking your contract? The dates might be included there.

Q: Do I have to be native speaker to teach English literature?

A: You can still skin into China as a non-English native teacher by holdi

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
