You'd think that this an opportunity too for Nigerian graduates who speak good English. Hrm. In general, I wonder if we can get more advantage from being an English-speaking country. 1 Like |

Well they still prefer white native speakers to Africans.And even if they will recruit Blacks they go for Ghananians,Kenyans,Zambians.You are cursed in China if you are a Nigeria passport holder. |

they say the pay is great too. but the Chinese seem like such proud people. I guess they are also trying to be practical. |

Nigerians should hurry while the offer last. This one na correct market for them. Just get certified for teaching English language and you are good to go. |

And you think Nigerians can compete with Native English speakers for the English teaching job in China?As i said earlier Nigeria passport holder is seen as a criminal in China.All thanks to some naija whom have given us bad name in that country.It will be hard for them to extend your Visa talkless of allowing ambianyou to teach their kids.Moreover no matter how you argue it Kenyan ,Ghana Zambian pronunciation and accent is far better than Nigerian's. |

They would put American and British applicants first before considering Nigerian applicants. |

Relax101: lol, so you want Nigerians to go and teach them how to stress every syllables in a sentence? if you live in a country where English language is the L1, ,you will know how its difficult for most native speakers of English language try very hard to understand our pronunciations. WHY YOU THINK SAY BLACKS THEY FORM PHONETICS FOR UK AND AMERICA? |

Yeah why not? It is the criminal attitude of some our guys in some foreign countries even in ordinary Liberia here. If not because of the role we played in their civil war walahi Liberians would have been stoning Nigerians on their streets. I have seen similar examples in some other European countries i have visited, its a shame. |

The people without jobs can go to China for a year or two and teach English while they learn Chinese. Then when they come back they can join business and do business with the Chinese. This can be a plus beause there is high unemployment now. |

Just forget the advert if you are a Nigerian applying from Nigeria hugooh42: True hugooh42: yeah, extending visas for other countries is very easy but I wonder why it's like rock just to extend your permit! Nigerians are painted black - BAD PEOPLE! even some schools won't even accept you as a Nigerian You might be lucky a get a teaching job but the chances are very slim. |
Re: English Teachers Are Desperately Needed In China by shotuns: 1:38pm On Oct 10, 2011 |
Just like Hugooh said, white are prefered in china, especially from America, Europe,Australia, New zealand, Canada, before asking for your passport, your colour speaks and you can get a job right away with that white face, colour is very important to the chinese It's big business for schools . Most Nigerians working in here in China are either working as part time english teachers in kindergarten, middle schools,high school ,colleges or doing business on F visas, but i won't rule out the fact that there are many Nigerians with very good accent here in China, others with a business working visa work for companies or got their z visas through agents( very costly ) Nigeria had a bad reputation in China, so your visa wont be extended and if you are lucky you've got to pay higher 10x than other countries. Ghanians, Zambians, Camerounians, South Africans, Egyptians, Angolians are prefered over Nigerians, even if your country's first language isn't english but once you are a white face, you are a rich man. |

To be able to teach English to Chinese people, you would need to understand the chinese language as well |
Re: English Teachers Are Desperately Needed In China by Kx: 2:56pm On Oct 10, 2011 |
Deep Soul:Does this go for the American teachers as well? |
Re: English Teachers Are Desperately Needed In China by babeface3: 3:45pm On Oct 10, 2011 |

Re: English Teachers Are Desperately Needed In China by niviso: 5:43pm On Oct 10, 2011 |
Not too long I met a chinese guy in France, and he told me of the need for English language teachers in China. Then he told me that, they do not want those who are ascented eg Africans. What do you think? |
Re: English Teachers Are Desperately Needed In China by Relax101(m): 6:12pm On Oct 10, 2011 |
Not only China, Korea and Japan are in need of English teachers. Hurry Nigerians while the offer last. Na correct market for our Nigerian English men o. |

People its not as easy as it sounds ohhhhh, Nigerians don't even try it because your passport is the first disqualification since you cant extend your stay with it while you are there, and if you are lucky and find a place to extend a Nigerian passport, it is extremely expensive. |
Re: English Teachers Are Desperately Needed In China by MMM2(m): 4:23pm On Oct 11, 2011 |

Re: English Teachers Are Desperately Needed In China by atreal: 2:24pm On Oct 18, 2011 |
yeah its true that chinese prefer native speakers than africans but the fact is china is a very big country that no1 can know all about or reach especially foreigners even their citizens,so as a foreigner its where you reach you can know,there are so many schools in china some really needed foreign teachers and some don't even care about it so it depends.some schools prefer africans even than white cos they have tried different foreigners and they found it very interesting with blacks more than white,besides blacks can teach good more than white forget the ascent or whtever whites only like playing games with students they gat no skill of teaching like that and so many schools dont even understand whether ur ascent is good or not all they want is making their kids happy. I have been in china for more than four years now i have taught in different cities in china even till now , there are so many nigerians teaching in china in different cities even those that gat no visa its just that its very risk working without visa but many pple risk it and it really works for them they made their money,the only problem our pple have is greediness,imagine some1 gat no visa,no documents but was able to get a job that pays $500 or more per month with accomodation,free computer with internet,and some other things and you work for more than 1 year instead of you to use the money you get to go back to your country arrange another paper come back and get urself a sch that can pay much money but u refuse to do that you stay there and risk ur life and at the end of the day they arrest you and send you back home after paying FINE this is what many pple suppose to do and have rest of mind anywhere they go but they refuse to do it,you have no problem in china if you have your visa everything will always be ok with you,there is nothing to fear in china except the police because their police is just like their god but if you have ur visa nothing will shake you,chinese are not so corrupt like nigeria cos their security are very good here,im not saying there is no corruption but its not up to 1% compare to nigeria,its even our pple that are commiting more atrosities in china in city like GUANGZHOU that nigerains are so many and they do different shady deals and bad businesses. Its very good even coming to china to work than staying in nigeria and be wasting away,though its not everybody that can teach because chinese also rejects some pple cos of 1 thing or the other but as long as chinese likes you and their kids also like you,you can work with them as long as they want you to,but the fact is that its very good to have papers and valid visa Z visa preferably at least with ur Z visa you can earn nothing less than 10,000rmb-15,000rmb monthly ($1500-$3000)monthly or more it depends on the sch even if you know your ways you can find urself some other part time classes with it,some schools will do ur visa whenever it expires,atleast 2bedroom appartment well furnished, free internet,1way airticket back to ur country at the end of the contract,some schools offers their teachers feeding fees every month also or you eat in their cafeteria it depends on you,so if you know you are competent of teaching dont pull or allow pple to pull u back try ur luck and im sure it would favour you,though it might look so hard when you just arrive but its very sure for you at the end of it,by the time you try 2 to 5 schools 1 must apply you im very sure about it even if you are not 100% good cos only GOD is 100% in all areas. To talk of difficulties in extending nigerian passport our pple caused everything cos they make troubles everywhere,kill,thief ,do ilegal businesses and all sort ,even things chinese citizens are not capable of doing and the owner of the country can not get their eyes wide open and allow some foreigners to spoil their country for them,the fact is that chinese even wish there is no nigerian in china but its not just possible for them to wipe all nigerians away from here because we contribute largly to their economy they knows this truth,though they have their own fault too but not as high as our pple's this is the bitter truth. 1 Like |
