Q: How can I let students know about my English lessons?

I'm currently making a blog which has free weekly English & IELTS video lessons. How can I let students in China know about it? Do you know of any websites (other than this one of course) where I could advertise or any popular forums that  Chinese students chat on where I can put a post? I'd really appreciate any advice.

My students told me to get myself 'qq' account for chatting with them. However, I told them Chinese websites are difficult to understand, because I can't read Chinese (howl), and suggests them to get themselves Skype instead. I add, they'll be able to practice English.

 

I'll ask them about suitable website for posting, when I'll return to the classroom, and answer to you.

QQ is a good idea.  Download the international version, then you can write in English and translate as well.

there is a lot of blogs for ielts on sina, you might get some ideas from there,

 

make sure they know how to talk on new topics for part 1, most schools just teach old part topics over and over, in may, they added maps and street markets, handwriting and teachers were new in september.

Memorised answers are a GREAT way to NOT get the score you're after! :)

 

Remember, IELTS is a test of language proficiency, not a test of memory and giving answers to specific questions.

yes i work as an examiner also, if i feel its memorized its a 4 score and out the door,if they can keep the grammar to less than 2 errors and use some linking words at least 4 times correctly, they can get a 5 with a middle school vocabulary ability.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
