China
ELIC broke ground in 1982 by sending our first team of teachers into China. Since then, several hundred thousand of China’s most gifted and promising students have come through our classrooms before taking influential positions in virtually every walk of life. It is unlikely that any other single country is destined to have such sweeping global influence in the 21st century. Your passion to serve the Chinese people and bring them excellence in the English language will provide the rewarding opportunity of investing in this extremely motivated and gifted generation of university students, one life at a time.
You’ll serve on teams of two or more as a respected faculty member on a university campus. Your 16 hours per week of classroom instruction will focus on speaking and listening skills. Some opportunities exist to teach other fields of study as well. These include public speech, American and British literature, western culture and history, mass media, reading, conversation skills, writing, business, law and computer science, among others. You’ll also discover the importance of developing personal relationships with your students, where they’ll gain practical conversational skills during out-of-class interaction and fellowship.
