China Teachers Program
Thanks to BYU’s China Teachers Program, well over 100,000 students at major universities throughout China have benefited from the instruction of experienced U.S. teachers. The 1,500 volunteer teachers from BYU who have taught in China since 1989 teach English and other content areas, helping students prepare themselves to be more effective in exchanges with the West. In return, these teachers are forever changed by their students and the people they meet, gaining love and appreciation for the people and culture of China.
