Do teachers have a Chinese teaching assistant?
Every teacher is provided with a local teaching assistant. They all speak English and help the teacher with conducting the lesson in the first week. They also help out through the term with general administrative support and translate and assist you with any problems you might encounter. In primary (elementary) and in some junior schools a Chinese teaching assistant is assigned for every class you teach.
