A Brief Introduction
Sichuan International Studies University is a state university of international studies established in May 1950. It is the most important University of International Studies in Southwest China. Over ten languages are taught at the university. They are Chinese, English, French, German, Russian, Japanese, Spanish, Korean, Italian, Arabic and Indian. Every year we invite over 30 Foreign Teachers and Experts to teach the languages at our university. Most of them are English teachers. They come from different parts of the world, and bring in different cultures and customs, while at the same time they learn the Chinese culture and tradition. They work in different departments and contribute much to the teaching and development of the university. They live on campus and easily get access to the university facilities. They live in free apartments and are taken good care of by the departments and the Foreign Affairs Office of the university.

At present, we are recruiting teachers for the next academic year. If you’re interested in the rich local custom and culture and getting teaching experience in China, please contact us and send your personal materials to us.
