Teaching English in Japan
Attention: Interested Employers Regarding: Teaching English in Japan
Dear Sir or Madame,
Over the course of my education, I have found that I have a passion for Japanese history and culture and want to pursue a career relating to this field. As a result, I am applying for my PhD in the future. It is with an English teaching position that I wish to acquire a stronger sense of teaching as well as enhance my skills with the Japanese language. I have a sincere passion for teaching and believe that my experience as a teaching assistant could be considered a strong attribute when considering my application. Studying Japanese culture, learning the language, and teaching has interested me to the point that I feel I must be a part of this program.
Attached is my resume. I look forward to hearing from you in this regard.
