These large numbers also imply the existence of significant cultural, ethnic, religious and linguistic diversity.

ABOUT CHINA
9
ROLE: English Teacher EARLIEST START: FEB 2016 DURATION: 5-6 Months SALARY: £450 per month
China is the fastest growing economy in the world. Our opportunities span the largest cities like Shanghai and Beijing to the more rural areas further inland. The nation has such a rich tapestry of history and culture that has yet to be exported accurately by the western eyes. Huge differences exist throughout the country; differences only really appreciated when witnessed first-hand.
So my project is teaching English at a summer camp. I’ve been teaching 15/16 year olds who have a good knowledge of English already and so I have been helping with fluency and cultural teaching as well. This aspect has led me to appreciate the differences in culture a lot more because we truly are exchanging cultural knowledge. Being in a professional environment abroad has also meant that I have become a lot more confident in my abilities to be independent as I’m in a totally new place and have responsibilities as a teacher.
