First of all, there are several misunderstandings:

1. Is it necessary to major in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language? Only then can I teach abroad?

Answer: No, the United States has the highest professional requirements, and the requirements must be language and education majors. You can go to other countries as long as your English is good and you have experience.

2. As long as I major in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language, can I teach abroad?

The answer is no. In fact, just like the previous question, more countries value teaching experience and English ability.

3. Is it necessary to take the Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language Qualification Certificate to teach abroad?

Answer: No, you can only go to the Confucius Institute through Hanban, and you need to take the Hanban teacher qualification certificate. If you go to a local school, you don't need one. Only in the United States, you need a Chinese teacher's qualification certificate. You can go to the United States to exchange for a local teacher's qualification certificate. Foreign certificate is a representative of ability, but it is by no means a threshold. It mainly depends on experience.

4. Once I find a school and get an offer, can I teach there?

Answer: First of all, it is impossible for foreign schools to directly cross the Internet to post recruitment information in China, nor can they come to China to post information about auditions. Second point, even if you can contact the school and get an offer, you cannot apply for a work visa without a Chinese unit to guarantee you. If you do not have a work visa abroad, it is illegal. You will be deported directly and your future visa applications for overseas travel will be affected. The key point here is that teaching experience and English are the most important.

To summarize, if you want to go abroad to become a Chinese teacher, there are two ways.

First, you are a fresh graduate or a current teacher, and your school has a Chinese language program For majors, there are quotas in the Confucius Institute. You can obtain the teacher qualification certificate from Hanban, and then participate in the selection of the Confucius Institute. After a long period of selection, you can be assigned to a certain place in a certain country to teach. They will be transferred back to their home country after 1-2 years.

Second, use a private institution or company as a guarantor to contact foreign schools for you, apply for the school for you, and apply for a work visa. This is very worry-free, and the process is fast, and according to Your ability to choose country, location, etc. But it will cost a relatively large amount of money. Judging from the current market, the demand for teachers of Chinese as a foreign language is relatively large, and most of them go to the United States, Thailand, South Korea, Indonesia, Singapore, Dubai, and Russia.
