Teach in Dalian, China
5 new foreign teachers are needed for the spring term in
Liaoning College of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations

Liaoning College of Foreign Trade & Economic Relations is a tertiary vocational college under the leadership of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Foreign Trade & Economic Relations. It is located in Dalian, China, a coastal city located in the Northeast of China. Considered one of the ten most beautiful cities in China, Dalian is a fashion city with beautiful scenery, clean seaside, green mountains, amiable weather and some historical sites attracting more and more foreign visitors from all over the world. And its annual fashion festival is becoming more and more popular and important among all the local Chinese and foreign residents.

Our college has campuses both in Dalian and Lushun. The Lushun campus is a 50-minute school bus ride away from the Dalian campus, where most of the teachers live. The college has 4 school buses to take all the teachers to the Lushun campus.
The apartment we offer to foreign teachers are in the Dalian campus, which is close to the largest and most well-known park in China - Xinghai Park, which is a seaside park with lots of entertainment inside. It is very convenient to get to other places in Dalian since the foreigners’ apartment block has 7 different buses leading to all parts of the city. The nearest supermarket and grocery store are only a five-minute bus ride from the foreign teachers’ apartment. And it takes only half an hour to get to the downtown area of Dalian city; a 20-minute bus ride to stadium, which is the home stadium of the number one football team in China; and 15 minutes to Xinghai Square, which is the largest theme square in Asian. In a word, living here is quite convenient.
The Dalian campus is located in the academic district in Dalian, where there are DUT (known as the Chinese MIT), Dongbei Financial University (which is one of the best financial universities in China) and DMU (maritime university), which is the oldest and largest maritime university in China. To be frank our college is really not that reputable but we do have lots of exchanges and connections with the above universities.

At the moment there are 6 thousand students boarding in our college and they specialize in more than 20 majors in 10 departments in our college. In the coming semester, the college will recruit 3500 more freshmen and then the number of boarding students will be over 10 thousand. They are from 3 provinces in northeast of China, Shandong Province and Inner-Mongolia. The students’ ages range from 15 to 21. They all speak English as they have been learning English for more than 6 years. Some have even learned English for 8 years among which 2 years were spent in intensive programs. So most of the students write well, know good English but they need to be encouraged to speak in public and get exposed to better and more English input. But there are some students who are not willing to speak, or learn even, but they won’t corrupt other students as in Asia we have very strict management over the students.

We demand all the foreign experts to fulfill the following requirements:

·16 teaching hours (45 minutes an teaching hour ) within 4 days a week
·24 teaching hours (45 minutes an teaching hour ) within 5 days a week
·two more hours for attending students activities (English Corner) or offering teachers’ training to Chinese teachers every week
·teach students speaking, reading, writing or business English
·the target students are of 16 to 20 years of age with 4 to 6 years of English learning
·write teaching plans every week
·help our college evaluate Chinese English teachers when needed
·write test papers for the courses that you teach
·assess students by the end of every semester.
