ESL Lesson Plan

... First of all, check out the following two links for ESL positions in China:

1. www.eslemployment.com
2. www.eslcafe.com
3. www.tefl.com/jobs

Secondly, take a look at the list below of universities in Sichuan (where Chengdu is located) and do a bit of google research on the universities. You should be able to find a website with contact information. Send them a letter and your resume:

University of Electronic Science and Technology of China

Sichuan Union University

Southwest Jiaotong University

Chengdu Istitute of Technology

West China University of Medical Sciences

Sichuan Education and Research Network

Southwest University of Finance & Economics

Sichuan Agricultural University

Chengdu University Of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Chengdu University Of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Sichuan Institute of Technology

South West Institute of technology

Finally, start networking with people who have connections with people in China. Let them know that you are looking, and it's quite possible you may know someone who knows someone who knows someone else who can help you. That is the best way to get things done in China afterall.

Hope that helps,
