Subject: Teach in China this summer

Hi, everyone,

Are you interested in a short-term teaching experience in China?  For the
past 7 years, I've led a group of teachers to the Harbin Institute of
Technology (recently ranked #20 in the world on US News and World Report's
top engineering colleges), where we teach a three-week intensive English
conversation program to the school's Honors students.

This is a low-stress, high-impact teaching environment.  There are no exams
or grades; students have a relatively high degree of English speaking
proficiency, and so we spend most of our time engaging in cultural
dialogues. Harbin is a northern city with moderate (for China) summers -
temperatures are usually in the 80s.

Dates for 2015 have not yet been finalized, but the program will take place
during July (and possibly early August).

HIT provides:

* Round-trip airfare (reimbursed; you have to front the ticket)
* Lodging (with a/c and internet connectivity)
* A teaching stipend

Teachers provide:

* a valid passport with at least 6 months remaining on it.
* a visa (HIT provides necessary paperwork; visas cost about $150)
* 25-30 hours of instruction per week in a team-teaching environment.

If you have a Masters' degree, some experience with overseas travel, some
ESL experience, and a desire to have a truly AWESOME summer, then please
send me a letter of interest and a CV.

Thanks very much!

Best,
Marcy
