The China Educational Association of International Exchange (CEAIE) program brings teachers from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom, or the US to live and work in China. The aim of the program is to promote language exchange and mutual understanding among young people at home and abroad, and to improve foreign language evaluation in Chinese schools. CEAIE participants will have the opportunity to teach English in classrooms all over China. Program benefits include TEFL certification and professional teaching experience overseas. Candidates majoring in education and English language study, or with those teaching experience, will be highly competitive. There is also a preference for candidates who have traveled overseas. After the initial 12 months, there may also be the opportunity to continue on as an educator in China.
