What's the difference between a foreign English teacher and a Chinese teacher? What's the advantage?

1. Different emphases

Chinese teachers focus on sentence patterns and grammar. The teaching of foreign teachers focuses on communication and application.

2. Different teaching methods

Chinese teachers are very familiar with English teaching methods in China, and they can draw inferences from others in the teaching process, so that students can understand them quickly, because Chinese teachers, like everyone else, have experienced problems in learning English, such as substandard pronunciation and being easily influenced by mother tongue thinking. Under such background, teachers' teaching will be more targeted.

For foreign teachers, English is their mother tongue. As a native speaker, it is easy to talk about the environment where they grew up and the culture of their country in teaching, and everything is so natural. Undeniably, Chinese teachers have a slightly weaker advantage in this respect.

3. The respective advantages of foreign English teachers and Chinese teachers

In the teaching of English pronunciation, Chinese teachers should be better at it, which will be more helpful to everyone's English learning. They have all experienced the stage of nonstandard pronunciation, and they know what problems you will encounter in learning English pronunciation, such as translating word reading into Chinese before learning pronunciation, so teachers will be more targeted in the teaching process, and they can quickly find out everyone's pronunciation mistakes and correct them in time.

foreign teachers think that learning words through phonetic symbols seems to be a matter of course, so it is difficult to notice in the teaching process.

However, foreign teachers of English for children are mainly young people, which are lively and interactive. Adult English teaching for foreign teachers focuses on practicality and focuses on improving students' oral English. Full-time foreign teachers focus on English education, and the income from English teaching is the economic pillar of their lives. They are generally conscientious and responsible in their work and teach more professionally.

Extended information

English teachers are foreign teachers who teach English as a second language. In China, they usually refer to foreigners engaged in English education, mainly foreigners from English-speaking countries, including the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, South Africa and other countries.

Many people will get into a misunderstanding. As long as they find a foreigner, they can teach as an English foreign teacher. To teach in China, English foreign teachers need certain qualifications, and they need legal work procedures, such as work visa, teacher qualification certificate and work permit.

At present, there is a great demand for English teachers in China, but most English teachers like big cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou. It is still difficult to find English-speaking foreign teachers in small and medium-sized cities, such as using foreign teachers from non-English-speaking countries to teach English.

In China, English teachers are generally required to have a bachelor's degree or above, more than two years' experience in education, and have TESL, TESOL, TEFL and CELTA certificates. Usually, recruitment schools also have age requirements for English teachers. I hope that foreign English teachers are between 22 and 6 years old, and the restrictions can be relaxed under special circumstances.
