I worked as an English Teacher in China for seven years( between 2001-2007). The bulk of my students were Chinese students in the northern City of Dalian. I have been on a teaching break for about ten years now and would like to enroll myself for this MA TESOL in Xian so as to improve and challenge myself further in this field. I like that the program is being taught in English.

I appreciate the fact that the 1.5 years MA TESOL program offered by Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University emphasizes not only on applied teaching, but also your global reputations and advantageous location will be a critical wealth for me to get more valuable international opportunities and maintain my career path as a TESOL teacher. I was very impressed with your program design and its learning environment. The program will enable each student to become close to one another, which is a very good support system. I learned that the professors and faculty will bring real cases for class discussion, which is very valuable.
