外國人在中國教書一直是一個備受爭議的話題。有著不同背景和經驗的人對這件事有著不同的見解。
Teaching English in China as a foreigner can be a controversial topic. Different people with different backgrounds and experience have different opinions on it.
Tips:the details about teaching English in China as a foreigner.
1.通常，外教首先需要把他/她的個人檔案放到求職網上，接著招聘人員會通過郵件或者電話聯繫到老師。
Usually a foreigner has to put his/her personal information at places like online jobmarkets first and then a recruiter will be able to contact him/her by sending emails or giving phone calls.
2.外教在培訓中心教書比在大學教書相對容易一些，因為後者的職務要求更高。
Teaching at a training center is easier than getting a position at a college or university for the requirements are higher for the latter.
在培訓中心教書和在大學教書有什麼區別？
What are the difference between teaching at a training center and teaching at an university?
1.班級數量和工作時間不同
The number of classes and working schedule is different.
Training center: 35-40 hours per week, usually during off worktime and weekends
University: 10-12 periods per week, regular working time, twodays to teach per week and five days off.
2.班級的規模、學生平均年齡以及老師教學風格也不同。
The scale of classes, average age of students and teaching styles are different.
在培訓中心，老師上課的人數不超過20人，學生的年齡在15歲到40歲之間。一對一的教學需求在持續增長,因為它能夠集中在個人教學。
這和在大學教書有很大不同，老師給很多有相同年齡以及相同背景的學生教書。
Teachers give classes to no more than 20 students whose age ranges from 15 to 40 at training centers, and there is an increasing demand for one-on-one tutoring, which is very individually-focused.
But teaching at universities can be very different: teachers are working together with a lot more students of same age with similar backgrounds.
3.薪酬不同The pays are different.
在培訓中心,對於一些工作了很久的老師們，給他們一些額外的獎金是很合理的。但是有時工資不能按時發放，會被一些外教抱怨
在大學，工資會在每月準時結算掉，並且你也能有一個規律的工作時間，但是工資有一個嚴格的標準。
Training center: the extra money is sensible for teachers work for a long time, but sometimes the payment is not given on time, which is complained by some foreign teachers.
University: the monthly pay is ok, and you enjoy a regular working life, the paying follows a strict standard.
4.得到工作的必要條件是不同的
The requirements of getting the position are different.
培訓中心對外教沒有太嚴格的要求，基本上只要老師有國際語言教師資格證，例如 TESOL、TEFL或者CELTA，就可以被應聘，這對西方人來說不難。
而大學學校要求老師有和專業相關的碩士學位和教師工作經驗或者工作背景。
Training centers are not that strict with the qualification of foreign teachers. Basically teachers who have a certificate of Language teaching like TESOL, TEFL or CELTA are accepted, which is not difficult for westerns.
Teaching at universities requires clearly major-related master's degree and years' teaching experience or working backgrounds.
