Here's one:

How does home-country certification in ESOL measure up as a useful qualification in China? Put differently, if it's neither Trinity nor CELTA (or one of the few other globally recognized certs), could a relevant qualification still give a prospective teacher an edge?

I hold professional certification in a state in the U.S. to teach K-12 ESOL and am wondering whether that will hold any water overseas.

Anyone have any idea?

Maybe I should have posted this in the general forum.

Yes it will for some jobs in China. It's not deal maker though. The most important qualification for teaching legally is at least a BA........ in anything.

If you have a degree plus home country teaching certification then you have plenty of options - all of the standard jobs are open to you plus the international schools may be interested.
