 Posted: Sun Sep 26, 2010 7:42 pm Post subject: China EFL jobs to require master's degree |
 |
|
I was reading another forum and one poster made a statement that the requirement in order to teach English in China "is likely to be changed to a minimum of a Master's degree within the next 3 to 5 years." I won't say what forum, but I think if you were to put that text into Google with quote marks, you would find it. According to the poster, the upcoming requirement "is certainly well known among those responsible for recruiting university and college teachers."
Do you suppose this is true? |

| Sounds like a troll to me. In a different internet forum I use, not ESL related, they have a saying when someone posts a story like this. The saying is, Source or GTFO. I would reply thusly to that guy in the other thread who is blabbering about hearsay or, even worse, simply making it up to irritate people. |

There will always be a market for BA's or even with out degrees in the mills.
Also from the same site.

| Mu husband does not have a bachelor's degree and he is teaching English here in China with me, working completely legally. He is even on a Z visa as an English teacher. If you do not have a degree and want to teach English, though, you will need to go through an Agent. Many agencies have special permission to hire native English speakers without degrees. However, you will need some kind of experience or certification. We went through Buckland Education Group in Yangshou and they provided us with TESOL certification. But if you want to get a job without an agent (you most likely will make more money this way, but will not have any support should you get in any sticky situations)you will need a bachelor's degree. |
