Teaching english in japan help and tips?

Question:


After I graduate college I wanna teach english in Japan. What city in japan do u recommend me teaching at I want something where it's not far to get to Osaka. Do u recommend me teaching middle school or high school. And how can I be a good teacher to them And if u have taught or u are teaching in japan can u tell me your expieriences :)

Answer:


As other posters pointed out, you need to write proper English.
Many smart high school students in Japan can write better English than you do.
Do you know the fact that we learn English for six years before going to college? Our English education is focused on reading and writing. Conversation is not emphasized; because we don't need to speak it as long as we are living in Japan.
Those who have ambitions to work in international field practice conversational skills while they are in universities. Most of their international studies are conducted in English by native English-speaking professors with Ph.D.

Do you want to work at an "English conversation school" in Japan? Most Japanese look down on those "native speakers of English" working for those suspicious "schools" who cannot spell their own language. We know most of the "teachers" for "English conversation schools" in Japan are losers who failed to get a decent job back home. None of those "English conversation schools" is not authorized as an formal educational institution by the Japanese government; none of their workers is qualified to be called a "teacher." In fact, they are least respected foreign workers in Japan. Do you want to be one of them?
