Job opening for non-native speaker?

Hi,

I would like to know if schools in China employ non-native speakers to teach English.

Thank you.

Non-native English speakers in China

Yes they do. You would need a TEFL certificate and very good fluency however.

Chinese schools realise that there are many good English teachers out there who are not necessarily native English speakers.

True

gfell is right, but also see the "Hope VS Reailty" thread I posted here. Can you? Yes. Will it be easy? No. The whole "Hope vs. Reality" thread is aimed directly to answer this exact question. Don't lose hope though - no one is saying you can't, but it is going to be a LOT more difficult and a LOT harder for you.
