eQuality Japan

I am 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.

I am confident that eQuality Japan will address these matters and more. David Paul has been very involved in the formation of eQuality and I have high praise and higher respect for the man who truly cares about improving the excellence of teaching in Japan.

There are many of us who do care. While there are some terrible schools in Japan, there are many run by good people who pride themselves on doing an admirable job for their students and indeed for their teachers. (In some cases especially for their teachers), as like Richard Branson (one of my heroes), they know that if their teachers are happy, then their students will be too!

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 theclasses that go smoothly. Maybe this is something to remember after a hard day at work.
