Make English Teaching Fun in China

MEF World was established in Japan over 20 years ago and expanded to China a few of years ago. We offer one of the best training systems, along with full teacher support and a full line of educational resources for teachers to use. Most importantly, we bridge the culture gap so that teachers have the best ESL teaching experience in China. Most of our teachers work full time in kindergarten schools, with better working hours than they can receive in language schools. They also have our cultural support, which stops them from needing to work late or beyond the normal hours expected while working for a Chinese company directly. Almost all of the teachers that have joined the program say that China is an amazing experience but it is also a country of immense cultural differences and there are challenges which MEF World is the leader in supporting teachers for the smoothest transition possible.

A Guide to Teaching Abroad in Asia

Prepare to Teach Abroad

Set goals

You will be in a new environment surrounded by new people and cultures. It will be a handful, so you must set goals to keep you on track. Here are some ideas:

  • Although you’re going there to teach, it’s also a chance to learn. Whether it’s a new skill, teaching method, or about yourself, the key is to be open to learning as much as you’re eager to teach.
  • Asia is rich in culture and history. Use your time there to explore and experience the local environment.
  • Connect with your peers and students. Building relationships can make your stay more meaningful and rewarding.

Understand the benefits

As you help students learn English and pave the way for opportunities for them, you also benefit from taking this path:

  • Travel while teaching. Teaching in a new country gives you the chance to explore historical sites and enjoy the beauty of a different place. Combining travel with teaching is an exciting and fulfilling experience.
  • Impact students' lives. There’s immense satisfaction in watching your students learn and grow. Knowing you’ve positively influenced someone’s life is incredibly rewarding.
  • Enhance your resume. As an English teacher, working with students from different nationalities is a big plus. It shows you’re adaptable and flexible, making you more appealing to employers.

Wonderful Days of my life

November 25, 2025by: Rebekha Paul - IndiaProgram: TEFL/TESOL Certification and Teaching in India

My TEFL training experience has been truly enriching and transformative. Throughout the course, I gained practical skills, deeper understanding, and greater confidence in planning and delivering effective lessons. A major reason for this positive journey was my trainer, Ashika, whose guidance made a remarkable difference. She was exemplary in every way—highly professional, well-prepared, and deeply committed to our learning. Her teaching style was clear, supportive, and always encouraging. What inspired me most was her patience and her ability to simplify even the most challenging concepts. She consistently provided constructive feedback that helped me identify my strengths and areas for improvement. Because of her motivating approach, I felt comfortable asking questions and trying out new teaching techniques without fear. Ashika’s dedication went beyond routine sessions; she ensured we understood the purpose behind every activity and how to apply it in a real classroom. Her passion for teaching and her positive energy made every session engaging and meaningful. I truly admire her as a role model, and I feel grateful to have learned under her guidance. This TEFL experience has helped me grow both personally and professionally, and Ashika has been a major inspiration throughout the journey.
