Q: Those here and not here: what keeps you coming to this board?

I was browsing through the forum and I noticed that some of the people here don't actually seem to be in China... I then wondered why they come to this board. Then I wondered why I come to this board. What gives? I like seeing all the different crazies here, but I also like seeing some interesting conversation too sometimes. I probably come here like 4 times a day minimum. China is super boring sometimes.

We want to help people with problems. Thats why I do this.

I dont have many good answers, but the site needs to be kept alive to introduce the people with questions with the people who have answers.

I post to keep the site alive.

And maybe, just maybe, I can help someone with a genuine problem..

In the meantime... the craic is good.

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
