The reason that I constantly place &#8220;indigenous speaker&#8221; in quotations is since there are a lot of indigenous English speakers that are not from these nations (I&#8217;m assuming India, Singapore, the Philippines &#8230;) however, these are the only nations that are legally enabled to instruct English as a 2nd language (ESL) in China.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12ptpx;\">Now, if you&#8217;re not from one of these seven countries, there are still legal means for you to teach in China.
