余計なことを書いてしまい、大変申し訳ございませんでした。深くお詫び申し上げます。
実は、先日のご投稿を拝読致しました。私も第２言語としての日本語教育（特に、学習法）に興味を持っておりますので、大変勉強になりました。突然このようなお願いをして本当に申し訳ございませんが、日本語能力試験一級の準備をしたいと存じますので、有効な学習法および教材をご紹介頂けないでしょうか。
誠に勝手なお願いで申し訳ございませんが、宜しくご指導下さいますようお願い申し上げます。 |

| Cut the sarcasm, Taikibansei. This is a public forum. If you want to have it out with me, I think it only fair that the others enjoy the spectacle. |

Hate to say it, but your resume just screams Big Four to me. If I'm reading it correctly, you have a BA, a C.E.L.T.A., and overseas teaching/living experience (mostly as an exchange student in Europe). What I don't see: 1) teaching experience in Japan, 2) a Masters/PhD, 3) Japanese language ability, 4) publications/presentations. In other words, while you are (over)qualified for eikaiwas, you have nothing special to offer as an ALT in Japan and are very underqualified for university employment. Finally, regarding your fluency in German and French, it is pretty easy in Japan (especially in Tokyo) to find native speakers possessing the same academic qualifications (or more). Hence, and in opposition to TokyoLiz, I really don't think you'll find even part-time work teaching those two languages (private tutoring might be an option, but again they'd prefer native speakers).
A year in an eikaiwa would certainly improve your chances--particularly in regards to ALT positions.
Finally, people give Canuck a hard time, but he is among the most realistic and honest posters here. If you'd rather have the Capper-type posts about the thousands of people earning $100,000+ US without degrees and passing Level 1 on the Japanese Proficiency Exam with just a little study on the side, then so be it. I prefer Canuck any day. |
