JINES & eQuality Japan

I was very hopeful for eQuality Japan. I think that much needs to be done to improve the integrity of the English teaching profession in Japan, specifically concerning English schools here, but also concerning the attitude of English teachers at schools. JINES has filled that void with the demise of eQuality Japan.
I look forward to a new era in English education in Japan!

ESL News: Teaching Challenging English Classes

When our classes go well, we glow. It is the challenging English classes that help us to grow. I think I just made arhyme! Seriously though, it is the so-called tough classes that improve us as teachers. We don`t learn much from the classes that go smoothly. Maybe this is something to remember after a hard day at work.

The Oricon Rankings of Large Chain English Schools in Japan

The Oricon Rankings rank a number of things in Japan and one of them is the very large chain English schools. If you are thinking of teaching English in Japan for one of the big chain schools, then checking the Oricon Rankins is a good idea.

You won`t find any of the smaller schools listed at Oricon however. They only rate the largest English schools in Japan.
