Dear ESL Cafe,
I am a new teacher who will soon hold a Masters of Arts in Social Science from University of Chicago (also a TESOL online certification that I have not used for a couple years). I was wondering if anyone could recommend any specific resources for employers in China I should target if I am interested in 1) Advanced Degree Programs, 2) Career Teaching, and 3) University instruction. I list them in that order of preference because I would like to 1) have my mornings free which is the best time to continue my research, and 2) maximize the free time I have available (as opposed to the pay) while still getting that residence permit, and I prefer to be in Beijing/Shanghai/Guangzhou/Chengdu. However, if you can think of teaching opportunities that would suit my preferences better, please inform me.
Lastly, I wish to know if any institutions value Masters-level analytical methods and skills in the social sciences as highly as most institutions do in regards to the natural sciences? While I know Chinese have come to more highly value economics instruction, my background is political economy (which they might find suspicious?), so I suppose in marketing myself I should blandly describe myself as a social science (or just English) teacher from University of Chicago (known for its economics dept)? What do you think? |
