training. Moreover, I will be staying in Thailand for three years. So taking up

teaching. The feedbacks form peers and the lessons helped us a lot to improve

and useful. The trainers were good and were available questions" Brain Meehan,

Tips for students doing TEFL course in China:
China has the most unique, diverse and exotic culture in the world. China is a
huge country and each part of this majestic land is endowed with huge diversity
of traditions and customs. People of China are very much aware of their self
respect. It is thus important to give respect to the Chinese people even
children while communicating with them.
Chinese have a paternal society where the father or the husband is the decision
maker. In recent times, paternal control over the family has reduced
significantly but the influence is still there. Wedding usually takes place
between 25 to 30 years and now days the bride and groom usually choose their own
life partner. Newly married couples usually stay in their own home and according
to the Chinese law they are allowed to have only one child. Another very
significant aspect of Chinese culture is that mostly people do not like to
migrate away from their home town.
Chinese’s culture in recent times has borrowed a lot from the western culture.
The urban areas in China are more influenced by the west than the east. There is
more equality of sexes now and women do many works outside the home.
Food occupies the most significant position in Chinese culture. They give major
importance to flavor, aroma and texture of their cuisine. There is a perfect
balance of vegetable, fish and meat in Chinese food. Tea is usually accompanied
with all meals in China and quality of tea is given prime importance.
Although, people of China have embraced the western culture, they are still very
apprehensive about western medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine is extremely
popular around the country. Western medicine and treatment are available only in
the major cities.
