English major wants to go to Singapore for postgraduate study. What major should I choose?

English majors want to study abroad, and the majors they can choose are really limited. Although linguistics or literature majors are more relevant, they may not be very helpful for future employment. Therefore, English majors generally have several better application directions for studying abroad: translation, media, teaching English to people in other languages, and business.

Comparatively speaking, it is a good choice to teach English to people majoring in other languages (TESOL). This major belongs to the field of pedagogy, which mainly studies the methods and theories of teaching English to people with different mother tongue backgrounds, and is committed to improving learners' English teaching level. TESOL certificate is a globally recognized professional qualification certificate for ESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) teachers, and its technical level represents the international level of English teaching skills. Its certificate is recognized by more than 5000 schools in more than 80 countries. There are nearly 100 group members and nearly 14000 professionals all over the world. In English-speaking countries such as North America, Britain, Australia and New Zealand, most schools and language training institutions recognize TESOL certificates. Especially if the undergraduate degree comes from China, working as an English teacher in a foreign university to teach China English has a very broad employment prospect, and even returning to China to teach will be of great help.

Of course, Britain is the first choice to learn spoken English, and York University and Newcastle University are good at teaching English to other language majors. 1- 1.5 years to get a master's degree in TESOL, you can directly enter the international professional market, and the employment prospects are very broad.

For foreign students with poor family economic conditions, they can find suitable universities in the midwest or southern Texas to study TESOL, and avoid the areas with high living expenses in the west coast and eastern California to apply for scholarships. Students in these areas can even find a graduate school with an annual fee of $20,000. If they apply for a tuition-free scholarship, they can also subsidize their living expenses by working no more than 20 hours a week at school or looking for an internship.

Full-time students can work outside the school after one year with the consent of the Immigration Bureau. If you are studying for a master's degree in education, you can apply for practical training through the Immigration Bureau. Otherwise, it is illegal to work. If you are caught, you will be sent back to China.

Choose to go to Singapore for family reasons? Only if you have the ability to enter five public universities for postgraduate study can you get a scholarship. The cost of attending a private school is not much lower than that of other countries ~ ~ ~
