Title: Re: teaching english in japan Post by: Tan on May 16, 2007, 11:28:54 AM I've got a cousin who has been teaching english in South Korea for 5 years now, she seems to really enjoy it. I honestly don't think she'll come back to North America, avoiding her student loans prob doesn't hurt the motivation to stay either. :P

I'm a writer and an English major in college, and as soon as I found out that this kind of thing wasn't just a rumor or a tall-tale ("I went and taught English, and d00d it was AWESOME, they gave me all kinds of stuff just 'cuz I'm an AMERICAN!") I started thinking about the best way to go about applying.
Still working on my AA, still in junior college (yeah I know... I cry sometimes to sleep at night XD ), but trying to better myself so I'm prepared. Always wanted to be a teacher, and this seemed like the best place for me to go.
