When Dr. Lanlan Kuang<\/a> sent an email to her students about IIE-CEAIE Teaching in China Program, Humanities <\/a>and Cultural Studies minor student, Tracy Folger \u201918 decided to take a shot and apply to the program. Little did Folger know how much the email would change her life.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only did I take a chance and apply to the program, but I have been accepted and am now in my third month living and teaching in China. While living here I teach English to 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders at Lei Feng Elementary School in the Xi Cheng district of Beijing, I have started taking mandarin classes,\u00a0and as member of the IIE program opportunities to expand are readily available.\u00a0I am also currently applying to colleges in Beijing so that I can work on a Masters in Comparative Education.\u00a0\u201c<\/p>\n

The IIE-CEAIE Teach in China program recruits native English speakers from a number of English speaking countries to teach English in China for a period of a year or more.
