I like this guy! Seriously, this is what learning should be. I’m gonna go to work and sing the “file your reports and approve your hours worked” song during training!

Richard, After High school im planning on geting a post secondary education and getting degrees in teaching and ESL, and I was wondering if you could tell me whether employers in japan, at highschools, elementary schools, etc. would provide an outline of what they wanted to be taught or if the lesson would be decided by personally. Thanks

It depends on where you are. Some places have very strict lesson plans, others leave it up to you!

Thanks for the reply, When I get my first job at a school in Japan, would you be willing to come in as a guest speaker at any point?

Thanks, it’d be really appreciated, I have hopefully one final question. At the moment I’m taking and finishing japanese in high school and am taking it in university as well, What other courses would you recommend me to take? should I take E.S.L over English or both of them?

If it’s a good ESL course then maybe. Usually the most useful things with teaching to take are human psychology & business courses, they teach you WHY people do things which is incredibly useful!
