Teaching English in Japan is One of the Most Amazing ExperiencesOn Teaching Business English in Japan Teaching English in Japan: all about teaching English here.There are many kinds of teaching you can do. Let`s explore the various options below.
I chose the route of teaching at English Schools. I taught at a couple of schools in Nagoya and in Kanagawa, before starting my own chain. Since 2006 I have taught at a very famous university here. I highly recommend university teaching in Japan.
A good friend of mine taught in the JET program. He had nothing but good things to say about being an Assistant Language Teacher or ALT for JET. Indeed,
many have raved about the JET program. They found their niche in a very interesting organization that posts native English speakers throughout Japan. Teaching English in Japan: Outside of the JET Program: Working as an Assistant Language Teacher (ALT) You don`t have to be a JET participant to work as an ALT in Japan. Check to see if your hometown has a sister-city relationship with a Japanese city. Often there are chances to work as an ALT through this relationship. Some ALTs do not have a university degree. What they do have is a Japanese spouse. That is often enough if they are intending to live in their chosen city long term. Cities and towns throughout Japan are begging locals to teach as Assistant Language Teachers in their schools. I know as I was one of them. Teaching English in Japan: Teach on the Peace Boat The Peace Boat is an interesting option for those who like to do volunteer work. I would love to do this one day and highly recommend it! You get a free trip around the world and teach! Where do I sign!? When I first arrived in Japan, I worked at different language schools including ECC and the YMCA. I was satisfied with both overall, and used that knowledge to start my own schools. Many of my friends have worked for Aeon and Geos and enjoyed their time there. I recommend these schools too if you research them and decide if the big school experience is good for you.
