Hello... I'm interested to apply for an ESL teaching job in China. I'm currently a licensed teacher from the Philippines with more than 10 years of teaching experience to primary school children. I have a very good command of the English language and am comfortable speaking with it since English is used as the medium of instruction in the school where I teach. Lately I've been surfing on the internet regarding ESL job postings on various websites and one thing I noticed is that most employers prefer "native-speakers" from certain countries only such as the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand... I am planning to pursue a TESOL training certificate course but after reading all these job postings , I'm having second thoughts whether or not I should still continue to pursue it since most of these employers would prefer "native speakers" from certain countries anyway instead of looking at the qualifications and experience of the prospective applicant. Is there really a chance for non-native speakers like me to teach in China? Please advice.... Thanks!
