All you need is a university degree and you can get a job in less than 2 weeks. Good luck.
You can do this so easily! There are many different English teacher programs in Japan: Nova, AEON, and more. But the program I d really recommend is the JET Program. The JET Program gives university graduates an opportunity to work in Japan as English teachers for up to 5 years. Any major is accepted, and while speaking Japanese and having teaching credentials increase the likelihood that you will be hired, they are not required. Here is the official JET Program website: http://www.jetprogramme.org/ Now why would you want to choose this program over others? Here are my reasons: 1) Better pay than the other programs listed above, including other random teaching jobs you may find in Japan. 2) More vacation time than other teaching jobs. 3) You work almost exclusively with Junior High and High School students, or Elementary School students. Other programs can involve anyone off the streets, including bored old men. 4) It s government provided, which means once you re hired, you won t be let go because of budget constraints. You ll also have health insurance, and you ll also be able to commiserate/get advice from the JETs before you and in your area. Of course, the JET Program has its faults. Here s a good website to see the opinions and thoughts of many current and former JETs (although this website is a little intense): http://www.bigdaikon.com/ At the very least, yes, getting a teaching job in Japan is possible, and yes, you have a very good chance, no matter what your major and minor is :)
Here are a couple of really good sites for you. Basically though, you have heard the most important news already. You will need a degree college degree. Any major would be okay, but chances would be better if your major was in English or Linguistics, or something cultural. Also, if you have any contacts in Japan, USE THEM. In Japan, it is not necessarily what you know, but who you know. Your personal network is so necessary. http://www.eltnews.com/jobs/index.shtml http://s-plan.s18.xrea.com/englishteache...
its really easy to get a job teaching english in japan and there aren t many requirements. here s all you need: 12years English education university degree (in any field) if you re prepared to work part-time (i don t recommend it cause you won t have much money) then you don t even need to finish your degree, just finished the first one or two years. If you re really keen, you could learn some basic japanese (speaking and reading) the only other thing you need to do is research. there are heaps of english language companies in japan, as well as schools that want ALT s. there are options for working just with kids, just with adults or a combination of both. there are some companies where you don t have to do much work aside from teach lessons, while others you may need to do a lot of planning before lessons. basically, there s a ton of options available, you just have to choose what you want and then apply. the application process is really easy for most companies, and they ll help you organise visa s and transport and everything. Look at all the different companies and check what they offer employees - some will even pay your return airfares! i taught english in japan for a private company for two years and it was the best experience of my live, so i definately recommend it.
Your chance of it is basically 100 percent if you apply early. They pay for your plane ticket back and forth and you can sign up for 1-3 years of teaching. I think the age group they want is 18-35 or something like that. You only need to have finished and have a/any college degree. When you do get there, you will probably teach english at more then one school and i highly suggest that you be able to talk and read japanese. Talk at least. The form for the sign up is about 12 pages and they also have these programs for other Asian countries like korea and taiwan too. Here the japanese one http://www.jetprogramme.org/
