Can I teach legally in China if I don't have a degree?
Can I teach in China with a different kind of visa?

Is there any other way for teachers without a degree to work legally in China?

Greetings from sunny Barcelona. My name is Anastasiia and I am a certified English teacher, originally from Russia. When I was 16, I got a scholarship to study in the United states and fell in love with an idea that foreign languages can lead you anywhere. Well, that led me to study and work in different parts of the world including Russia, Spain, and China. I really want to inspire my students to live Languages. During my lessons I use various authentic resources to show how and why foreign languages are not only necessary but also exciting and just fun.

How to Keep Up With Classroom Organization - TEFL Blog

Teaching Ideas
When working with a large group, it is important to maintain class management to ensure all students can learn the material. A class can easily become off task due to a lack of dominance within a teacher. I had the opportunity to manage a group of six and seven-year-old students in the past and I am aware that it can be rather difficult to keep children on task. Throughout my internship, I was able to see what skills worked and what needed improvement. After reading unit 5, from the online course, I was able to connect concepts and thoughts I had from managing my class. Now that I am aware of new concepts it is easier to see how teachers can manage a classroom in a friendly but orderly manner.

TEFL vs TESOL - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
The generally recognized acronym for the field of teaching English is ELT which simply means:
English Language Teaching.
Within this huge field there are a number of specialisms. One such specialism is the teaching of English to learners for whom English is not their first language. Three common acronyms that are often used when applied to this scenario are TEFL, TESL and TESOL.
By defining the terms we will show that the idea of comparing one versus the other, i.e. “TEFL vs TESOL” is not particularly useful. So what do they mean?
When the English teaching is to non native speakers and takes place in a country where the first language is not English. Examples would be teaching English in Peru or teaching English in Taiwan.
TESL applies when teaching English to non native speakers in a... [Read more]

Why I Found Taking a TEFL Course Beneficial - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
Completing a TEFL course is useful in many ways. Firstly, it is useful to complete a TEFL course because of the knowledge it provides. Before starting this course I had an English background, but I wasn't aware of all the grammatical points I was missing out on. This course has made me think and taught me some very new ideas that I had not previously known before. Aside from grammar, I had picked up some very useful communication skills and problem-solving skills. When in a classroom I learned how to keep people engaged and active. A very useful technique is the ESA technique. That stands for engaging, study, activate. In this technique, you can use the straight-arrow method, boomerang method or the patchwork method depending on the situation of your... [Read more]

What does TEFL certification mean? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
The obvious place to start is with the acronym TEFL, what does it actually stand for? TEFL stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language and it can be used to refer to any situation where a non-native English speaker is being taught English. Technically, TEFL refers to situations where English is being taught in a non-English speaking country, but in most circumstances it is commonly used regardless of the learning environment. TEFL is also the name given to teacher training courses and the resulting certification that potential teachers undertake in order to meet the qualification criteria set out by most international employers of English language teachers.
