an in-country residential English language teaching course
(TEFL) run by native speakers.
Participants
will have the chance to gain English language teacher-training

career or looking to gain new skills while spending time

arrival orientation and training sessions take place in
Beijing and include comprehensive theory and teaching practice,
practical experience and an introduction to Chinese life,
culture and customs.
On completion
of the training, you will be placed as a teaching assistant

the amazing sights of the Great Wall, the Terracotta Army
and the Forbidden City, learning basic Mandarin Chinese
and experiencing authentic Chinese culture are all part
of this Asian adventure.
