Accommodation
All
accommodation is secure, furnished, on campus and has modern amenities,
including a television, internet connection, shower and washing
machine. Most have double beds.
You will either have your own apartment or share a two-bedroom
apartment with one other Teaching Assistant of the same sex from
this programme.
Partners and families may be able to live with you, although they
will need to pay for their own airfares. For more information, contact
Professor Phil Thomas.
Lifestyle
The lifestyle you live as a Teaching Assistant very much depends
on you as an individual. You will be teaching for approximately
18 hours a week; the rest of the time is yours to spend as you wish.
You will need to allocate some of this time to lesson planning.
All institutions employ at least two Teaching Assistants so you'll
not be on your own. That aside, China is full of expatriates working
and enjoying life in this exciting country. There are numerous opportunities
to enjoy Chinese cuisine, experience the nightlife, take language
or cooking classes and partake in sports. In fact, with the 2008
Olympics on the horizon, the focus on sports is ever more evident
in China.
