Just got back from mine. The English Test was pretty hard, I think you guys lulled me into a false sense of security. Exactly half the people there failed the test (8 people), and were asked to leave before the teaching demo. My demo was a bit rubbish, I was quite disappointed with it. The other people (pretending to be 7 year old Japanese kids) were not genki at all, so it was a bit of a struggle to get them to do anything. I was assigned "Actions", so I did stand up, sit down, clap, jump, spin. I can't really blame the other people for not liking me getting them to stand up and sit down again 5 times in a row...
We'll see. It wasn't a disaster (I got through the test..), but it wasn't great either. |

Half failed? No way! 
Nobody failed on my day. Sorry if you felt misled. I described it as best I could...
Still, at least you got through it!
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. |

Hi,
Could I please get the website to ECC from someone? I would like to learn more about them and maybe apply. I tried searching on google, but had a hard time searching through all of the results. Thanks. |

| Well, looks like it turned out fine. I got an official job offer today, so it looks like I'll be off to Osaka in January! Thanks for the guidance everyone. |

Not yet - I didn't specify - although all the people who were on my interview day that had worked in Japan before said I should ask for Osaka.
I'll post back when I know... |

Congratulations on your offers of employment.
The point of the teaching demo is so much to demonstrate solid pedagogy, but to see your classroom presence. If you've taught before and are comfortable standing in front of a class, you shouldn't have a problem. Just be sure to control your English. |
