This guide consists of 47 topics or units and each unit is written to be read independently of each other. The units are organized across three broad temporal categories and each unit informs the entire category it is a member of: 1) What you need to know before making your decision (Teaching English in China); 2) What you can expect during your first six months (Initial Adjustment), and; 3) Ongoing Work and Social Issues (Ongoing Issues). Obviously, the three categories and each of their units are interrelated, so crosslinks are provided throughout the guide wherever appropriate for your convenience.
A good place to start is simply to browse the menu bar to the left or, for a visual layout of the entire guide, you can take a look at guide’s site map and topic index. The most popular pages in the guide are:
