Growing interest in international affairs and the globalized market have made the English language a requirement for students in China who wish to become successful in any line of work. However, they seldom have a need to use the language within their own country or achieve a high-enough skill to speak the language comfortably. Because of this, many Chinese schools are therefore eager to improve the quality of their students' English education by taking in English speakers from abroad who can inspire students to improve their English even further.
Lao Shi (老師) - The Chinese word for "teacher" is a combination of the characters 老 and 師 respectively, with 老="old" and 師="teacher". The suffix "old" is not used in the context of age, but rather as a sign of respect and reverence. It is not surprising that studies have shown that the level of public respect for teachers in China is the highest in the world.
