I have a friend who is teaching English in Japan. She's been there for 2 years now and likes it a lot. She knew a little Japanese before she started, but has been taking more classes since she got there and is at the point where she can understand most general conversations in Japanese. She's in the JET program, which she's pretty pleased with. It's one of the largest English-teacher in Asia programs, so I would look at their website for more information on their requirements, if you're interested in teaching in Japan instead of China.

You seem very unwilling to work, which in the longrun isn't going to get you anywhere. You [b]Will[/b] have to learn Chinese before you go, which to speak fluently could take up to and exceeding five years, yes you [b]Will[/b] have to spend more than 3 years in education, teaching requires a high level of performance in highschool and college, and then you have to train for teaching itself wich will definatley take more than 3 years on you're part. And yes you most definatley [b]Will[/b] have to work hard and stay in education to get anywhere interesting in life, and by work hard, I don't mean by saying you're going to learn chinese while in china and say... [quote]Yeah, it'll be a bitch.[/quote] [editline]15:44[/editline] No you do not get a degree at the end of highschool, and no you do not need to know German to get into a U.K "highschool" and no liking fish and chips will not help you get into the U.K. And if you don't mind me asking, how old are you?
[QUOTE=Rimor Animus;19739182]lol u fail at life, no way ur gonna be a teacher. college equals degree, not hs. hs is nothing.[/QUOTE] Most of us aren't yanks, mind you. US public educational system(which is shit, btw) =/= The only public educational system in the world. Hence, different definitions of High school.
OK English school system - you stay in school till you are 16, then you get your GCSEs. You then have the option of sixthform, or college, or work. You stay in sixthform/college till you are 18, and you receive your A-levels. Then you can join a university if your grades are good enough, of course, you get better choices if your grades are better.
You'll need to speak and write Chinese nicely Which takes the better part of like ten years
Stay in Denmark and teach biology.
Because knowing German or French is a requirement to join high school in Denmark[/QUOTE] And that sucks balls!

Fish and chips is [I]the[/I] shit! [editline]04:16PM[/editline] [QUOTE=HeyMate;19739345]uh oh..This means I can't join English school if I'm not a English citizen? Because I was pretty sure that since both England and Denmark is in the EU, we can cross-educate, if thats..the right word. Not sure of it. Hope you understand. Basically I can study in UK without problems, provided I meet the requirements for school[/QUOTE] You get one of them things, I forgot the name though. But it's for people who come from other countries to get an education here.
For university degrees in the UK I recommend looking at the UCAS website: [url]http://www.ucas.ac.uk/[/url] I don't know how helpful the site is for applicants from other countries but it's worth a look. Look into the UCAS tariff and see if any qualifications you hold have any points associated with them, this will tell you if you need more qualifications or not. Also degrees are usually 3(?) years or more. If you need lower qualifications first then I suggest you contact UCAS directly and ask them about other studies and they will probably point you in the right direction.

I would guess that the problem with teaching english in china is that you need to be very strong in chinese to be able to teach english, as you will have to be able to explain what an english word is in chinese.
You need multiple years of studying chinese and english to be able to translate.
[QUOTE=HeyMate;19739145]Sup facepunchers I have a dream - to become an English teacher in Asia. I'm thinking China. I can actually go now and teach right away, but I feel like I want to learn more (my native language isn't English). I'm 18, unemployed and put my career on a break. I have not finished high school, so this is where yous come in (I'm from Denmark). I want to join a high school in England. The reason for this is:[/quote] You're going to struggle to a) get into the country b) support yourself and c) enrol in secondary school. You're already 18, by the time school starts you may be pushing 19. Add on to the face that you need to sit GCSEs as well as A Levels if you want to prove yourself as a product of the English school system and you'd need to be enrolling with 15 year olds, which isn't going to happen. GCSEs and A Levels can be sat outside of school in community colleges but they don't count as full time education so I doubt you'd be able to do several and still get benefits. [quote] 1) In Denmark, I need to learn German (to join high/secondary school). Do you need to know German to join high school in England?[/quote] You need to sit a foreign language in order to qualify at GCSEs, so feasibly you could do Danish. You'd need to find an exam centre that did Danish GCSEs but I don't think there is an exam board that has Danish exams so you'd probably need to learn German/French/Spanish if you somehow got into a secondary school for GCSEs. In terms of A Levels, you're ok to do whatever you want. If you're in a community college then they'll pretty much let you take whatever but proving to them that you've got the brains to do it will be tricky since you don't have any GCSEs; you could show them what Danish qualifications you have so far but acceptance will be on a college-per-college basis. [quote] 2) It will vastly improve my English far more than a Danish-English teacher can. 3) My English is better than my Danish :frown: 4) I think I'd like fish n chips [/quote] 2 and 3 are probably right. 4 is also probably right; fish and chips are yummy. Make sure you get fresh fish, though - not fish that's been lying around on display for a while. [quote] Another question. If I finish high school, will I have a degree?[/quote] Nope. [quote] Because I got told that having a degree with help me a lot. Any degree. A bachelors degree will definitely make is easier for me to find a job. But what is a bachelors degree? How long does it take? [/quote] A Bachelors degree is a degree you get when you finish undergraduate studies in the UK, but a lot of them have been replaced by honours courses. I'm not sure if you can get a degree in English as a Foreign Language, and as for plain English - think of your Danish lessons, but in English. English degrees are all about analysing texts for hidden meaning and language analysis which'd be hard for someone who isn't completely fluent (and is hard for lots of people who are completely fluent). Example: "My father lost me to The Beast in a game of cards." - Analysis: to be lost implies possession, therefore the author is highlighting the subjugation of females under the patriarchal hegemony by showing the girl to be an item of property belonging to her father and then The Beast. This is reinforced by the fact that the woman herself is lost - she cannot alter the fact that she has been bartered in a deal. The capitalisation of "The Beast" hints at an aristocratic title, which of course is a classic trope in Gothic fiction - the insidious aristocrat preying on the virtuous girl. Can you do that easily in English? Also, don't forget that most Universities here are highly competitive. To get into one you're going to need to have completed some sort of higher educational course, like (typically) 3 A Levels or an international baccalaureate. A typical offer for something like English in a good Uni would be about AAB-ABB. [quote] I dislike school (ironic since I want to be a teacher huh), so I'm only willing to spend max 3 years in school in UK/obtaining a degree (bachelors or otherwise) Thanks bros[/QUOTE] Even if you had A Levels sorted, you could be looking at 4 years for a degree. You best bet here is to go back to school in Denmark, complete it and then apply to Universities in the UK with your grades. It's going to be hard to get into, though, and if you don't have a place in a University I'm not sure how you're going to settle in the UK: there'll be a fair bit of paperwork even if you're an EU citizen. But do try and take an "English as a foreign language" course in the UK or just an English course in the UK. If you wanted to teach English you'd probably also need a TEFL qualification ("Teaching English As A Foreign Language"). And you would also need to be fairly fluent in Chinese, in order to understand the children when they ask the Chinese equivalent of "What is "cat" in English?".

No, Probably because we won WW2. 2. I don't know about that, The majority of people I see and speak to on a daily basis don't even know how to talk properly. 3. Cool 4. Well, I think that's probably the best reason for anybody to completely change their lifestyle and move to a new country and start a new life. Maybe if all these immigrants from Kosovo and all that shit started putting down "I think I'd like fish n chips" on their Immigration application forms, it'd be alot more successful than, "I don't want to live in a war-torn shit hole". 5. You're too old to join secondary school. College is where you wanna go buddy.
[QUOTE=Rimor Animus;19739182]lol u fail at life, no way ur gonna be a teacher. college equals degree, not hs. hs is nothing.[/QUOTE] Actually high school is everything. Without good grades you aren't going to be able to go to university, and get a proper degree. Way to be an ignorant asshole, faggot.
You're 18, you can't go to High School anymore.
Studying a degree in England as a foreign student is much more expensive too, it can be upwards of £5000 for one year of study.
Why don't you teach whatever language you mainly speak in England?
If you never finished high school you'll want to look at a UK college. (UK colleges differ from universities/what Americans call college) They usually accept foreign students but you'll have to look up how much it will cost you. (Education is free if you're under 18, over 18 you have to pay)
You aren't going to get a degree when you finish high school. Beyond that, there is also college to go through, which still won't get you a degree. You will have to get University first, son.
God I want to become a teacher too.
Wait...I'm in England and since when did you get a degree from 'high school'? It goes up to GSCEs, and A levels if the said school has a 6th form. I thought you got a degree from University...
