Questions About Teaching English in Japan
Hello, all!
I’m an online student (currently in Ohio, U.S.A) and am currently taking a TESOL course and am working towards a TESOL certificate. I have a strong desire to teach English in Japan. Not a capricious desire, either; it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while. For one of my assignments, I’m to ask a TESOL-related question (or questions) to a community of educators. So, I ended up on this "teachinginjapan" Reddit group.
My first question is: need I be fluent in Japanese to succeed? Is there a level of fluency I should aspire for?
Second: how hard is it, would you say, to relocate from another country to Japan and find employment there?
Last: is it possible to teach English to Japanese students online? Even if as a tutor? Can you remain in another country to do that?
Simple questions. But thank you in advance. I wish you all the best!!! じぁあね!
