Peking Beijing China
What is the workweek like for an American or British ESL teacher in Beijing, China?

Like how many hours do you normally work, how much is the pay, do you recieve any benefits from the school you are working in, etc. I may go there to teach once I get my B.A. in Elementary Education (K-8) and my Teaching English As A Forgien Language Certificate in 2 1/2 years if my husband doesn't get accepted for his Ph D in USA. My husband is thinking of applying to universities in China for his Ph. D.

It depends upon the school/university.

Most universities require a bachelor's degree as a minimum requirement to teach English. Many of them desire a TESL/TEFL certification and a few of them require experience.

Many private schools offer jobs to strangers on the street without any knowledge of their abilities or experience.

A university is more likely to have a workweek of no more than 18 - 20 hours to week. A private school can have a teacher work 35 - 40 hours per week.

Pay ranges from 3200 yuan on up. There are those who can make 12,000 - 15,000 yuan a month, but that is usually working two or three different jobs at a time and doing a lot of tutoring on the side.

Many universities provide housing or a housing stipend. Roundtrip airfare back to your home country is often provided with a year-long contract.

Personally? I made 8700 yuan a month in Beijing, but I had no benefits of any kind. I did not receive a housing allowance, nor did I have any medical coverage (also usually standard with a contract . . . good for Chinese hospitals only), nor did I get any airfare. I taught at a Beijing-based university 18 hours a week. 16 hours were at their Langfang campus (about 1.5 hours away by school-provided bus) and 2 hours were at their local campus, not far from my home. I was treated well, paid on time, and had a good relationship with my foreign affairs office.

Currently, I work in the northwest and my pay is much, much less! However, I have housing, airfare, insurance, etc. and the cost of living is much cheaper here. In other words, I actually have more take-home pay after incidentals!

The US Embassy has put together a page of helpful information on the topic. You can find it here:

Peking

$105.54

The central character in Susan Naquin's extraordinary new book is the city of Peking during the Ming and Qing periods. Using the city's temples as her point of entry, Naquin carefully excavates Peking's varied public arenas, the city's transformation over five centuries, its human engagements, and its rich cultural imprint. This study shows how modern Beijing's glittering image as China's great and ancient capital came into being and reveals the shifting identities of a much more complex past, one whose rich social and cultural history Naquin splendidly evokes. Temples, by providing a place where diverse groups could gather without the imprimatur of family or state, made possible a surprising assortment of community-building and identity-defining activities. By revealing how religious establishments of all kinds were used for fairs, markets, charity, tourism, politics, and leisured sociability, Naquin shows their decisive impact on Peking and, at the same time, illuminates their little-appreciated role in Chinese cities generally. Lacking most of the conventional sources for urban history, she has relied particularly on a trove of commemorative inscriptions that express ideas about the relationship between human beings and gods, about community service and public responsibility, about remembering and being remembered. The result is a book that will be essential reading in the field of Chinese studies for years to come.

Relax, I told myself. You're having an adventure. Escaping his ghosts, AIDS widower David Masiello accepts a one-year position at a Western medical clinic in Beijing. Lonely but excited, he sets out to explore the city--both its bustling street life and its clandestine gay subculture. David chronicles his adventures in China as he wrestles with cultural dislocation, loneliness, and sexual and spiritual longing. After a series of both comic and poignant encounters with gay Chinese men, he meets Bosheng, a handsome young artist. Though the attraction is strong, a difficult courtship ensues, during which Bosheng returns to his ancestral village to marry the girl his parents have chosen for him. Eventually, and quite unexpectedly, David and Bosheng reconnect and share an idyllic spring together. As the year ends, David must decide whether to say goodbye or face the uncertainties of along-distance relationship. Philip Gambone's novel is peopled with a host of wonderfully memorable characters: Owen, David's forthright best friend back home; Auntie Chen, the clinic's office mom, who wants to fix David up with a girlfriend; Stewart, David's Beijing roommate, a graduate student doing research on Peking opera; Jiantao and Guoyang, two lovers who lecture David on the fleeting quality of American romance; and Tyson, the Australian doctor with a Chinese girlfriend, who hopes to teach David that love doesn't need any explanations or justifications.
