The placements are for English language teachers. You must be prepared to accept the placement provided by Council Exchanges and its Chinese partners. Council Exchanges is continuously updating placement profiles based on feedback from current participants, however, with new placement opportunities being added to the program all the time, some profiles may be quite basic. You must be comfortable speaking in front of groups, be enthusiastic about teaching, and have strong organizational skills. You must take your 'ambassadorial role' seriously, as you will be highly regarded in your local community and will be seen as a Council Exchanges' representative.
Couples are eligible for joint placement.
Most host institutions allow for and even encourage the accompaniment of family members, who may share your accommodation at no extra cost. However, you are responsible for their travel and living expenses while in China. Contact Council Exchanges to discuss your specific needs and circumstances. Council Exchanges can also make flights and affordable insurance coverage available to family members. All fees must be paid in full at least 30 days before departure.
