| Title | Teacher Opportunity in China |
| Body | From: Bob Willner Organization: Oregon International Council The National Committee on United States-China Relations is now seeking applications for an Exchange program for teachers in American and Chinese schools. This is a unique opportunity for schools and districts wishing to begin or to strengthen Chinese language and culture programs and for teachers wishing to live and teach in China. Now in its eighth year, the program sends American K-12 teachers to China to teach English in Chinese secondary schools, and places Chinese secondary school teachers of English in American schools to teach Chinese language and culture, and where appropriate, English as a Second Language. They seek experienced American K-12 teachers of any level and any subject who will return to the U.S. committed to improving teaching about China in American schools. While in China, they teach English in Chinese secondary schools. The teachers leave the U.S. in late August for the school year that begins on September 1, and are generally finished with their teaching duties in late June. The Chinese school year runs through early July, but the students are reviewing for and then taking exams in which the American teachers have no role. The exchange program also brings Chinese secondary school teachers of English to the U.S. They spend the school year teaching Chinese language, Chinese culture (history, literature, arts), and/or, where appropriate, English as a Second Language. It is not required that every school or district both send and receive. We are flexible, hoping to satisfy the needs and interests of individual teachers, their schools, and their districts. Write to the Teachers Exchange Program, National Committee on U.S.- China Relations 71 West 23rd Street, 19th Floor New York, NY 10010-4102 for additional information and an application. Interested teachers may also learn more about the program from the website: www.ncuscr.org The application deadline for the 2004-2005 academic year is March 15, 2004. |
