| CIBT has numerous partnerships throughout China. They cater to young people with rich parents. I worked for CIBT in Beijing. Paid well. Lame students. I was almost fired after setting my writing class too much homework (one 250-300 word essay per week). I was actually told that I was not to give the students in the writing class any writing to do! |

And there are some posters here at Dave's who forsee a future where English teachers will all be required to possess a minimum of a BEd to be employable in China! |

Let me guess, they wanted you to grab a guitar and crank out your classic hits.  |

therock -
Nah, actually the students just wanted me to stand in front of the class and talk for the whole lesson (3 hours!). I refused. As I've said before, most of my students think I'm a really terrible teacher. "You make us learn new words!" "You make us speak!" "You make us write in English!"
Shan-shan -
I wish I could be so optimistic! |

| At least yopu didn't need to tap dance and perform Michael Jackson styled dance steps while moon-walking. |
