Teaching English in China: A Handbook for Native Speakers
Zhang, Wei
Online Submission
This handbook is designed for native English speakers who are preparing to teach English in China. The contents of the handbook are selected based on the findings of face-to-face interviews and a questionnaire survey conducted by the author with experienced native English teachers to China as the partial fulfillment of her Master's in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other languages). The author also holds a B.A. in English education and has taught English to Chinese learners aged 3 to 50 in different kinds of programs for four years in China. The materials in this handbook should be helpful to you in the following ways: (1) to improve English instruction by understanding the Chinese cultural and educational contexts; (2) to improve English instruction by knowing how English is taught in Chinese schools; and (3) to facilitate communication between you and your future students, colleagues, and administrators by familiarizing yourself with their life, work, and study in China. Appended are: (1) Pinyin and Its Pronunciation; (2) IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet); (3) Grammatical Differences between Chinese and English; (4) Teaching Plan (1); (5) Teaching Plan (2); (6) Survey Narratives; and (7) Teaching Survival Kit.
