How can I get a good job in Japan teaching ESL/EFL?

We Answered:

Don't be arrogant. You need to learn our language and culture before you "teach" in Japan.

Donald Said:

Teaching ESL in Japan- am I too old?

We Answered:

Yes. Canadian. He looked like 45+ ( I never asked his age but he told me he has teenage daughter). I also watch youtube English teacher in Japan. He looks like 50+ to me. If you really want to go to Japan, why don't you try it anyway. That way you will have no regret thinking "I wish I did......" stuff. Thinking won't open the door for you. You never know until you try! Good luck!

Michele Said:

Do ESL teachers need to know the language well (say Japanese) to be teaching English in Japan?

We Answered:

hi! am korean. my american teacher knows not a word about my language. sometimes when we cannot understand what he's saying, he shows it through actions. also, our school requires all native speaker teachers not to speak korean because we already have our korean english teachers to explain the lessons to us in korean. don't worry, if you come to korea, you won't get lost even if you can't speak korean. the people will love to speak to you to practice their english. you will have a trouble understanding them :)
