SahanRiddhi,

Before you begin your post with a blanket 'help me' statement, you may want to spend some time perusing the Announcement and Sticky sections of the forum, particularly the FAQ sections. Many terrific and informative posts can be found there and I would surmise that there are answers to most of your questions within.

Would have appreciated a more positive response. But hey, I guess some people have things going on within them, that cause this sort of reply.

Anyone with helpful information to add, please reply.

It's hard to give helpful information, since we don't really know what you want.

What exactly do you want to know about teaching English in Japan?

You said you want "some information" - information about what? How to find a job? What kinds of jobs exist? How competitive the jobs are? Where is a good place to get a job? When to look for a job? What schools are like? What students' English proficiency is like? What materials students use? What students' motivation is like? And about 100 other questions that could be asked about teaching English in Japan, most of which are already answered in other threads. How about you make a list of questions you have, check to see if they've already been answered, and then if they haven't, come back and post them.

You said you want "general ideas". Well, Japan is in eastern Asia, and most inhabitants speak Japanese. English is taught in most junior and senior high schools, and is beginning to be taught in many elementary schools as well. It is also taught to university students. In addition, there are private language schools, called eikaiwas, where younger and older people learn English.

SahanRiddhi,

My apologies for seeming to come across to you in a harsh way. My intention was to steer you towards researching the answers to your questions and to ask us for clarification or for answers that you might be confused about. As rtm has indicated, we're just not sure how to begin, and to cover all areas that might touch on your interests would make this thread humongous.

You want a "prompt" reply, but have given us nothing to go on. This is pretty inconsiderate. What has your basic research already told you that we shouldn't repeat? What exactly is your goal for "teaching Japan [sic]?"

We can't give you "helpful information" unless we know what it is you want or need. That's positive!

These are all things that are important to me. And by the way, the search function is not working. Another thing I want to know is how much they pay. And also the general atmosphere as far as everyday life. Excuse me to the rude posters, but I have not been to Japan and you have, so all the things you see as basic and not worth your time, are things that I have no idea about. Not sure why all the bad attitude.
