 |
|
A Japanese friend of mine is looking for work teaching Japanese in Seoul. She's here on a working holiday visa, and also speaks English and Korean.
Any thoughts on where she might go to find work? |

| Lots of adult schools offer classes in Chinese and Japanese too. They hire native speakers for those languages and I think they get the same deal as we do- though I'm not sure about the pay. |

| If I was Japanese there'd be few things I'd hate more than teaching kids here, I can't even mention Japan without getting a chorus of "Japan dirty teacher!"s |

| I concur. I don't know about the visa ins & outs, but unless she got a fairly good univ. gig I shudder to think of a Japanese national teaching at a"proletarian" level(for HER sake)here. Good luck to her though.... |

There are more Japanese teachers (16 native speakers) than English teachers (12 native speakers) at my university. Most (maybe all?) of them have a graduate degree of some sort.
Most of them have done time in hogwans
I think there is a fairly large market for Japanese teachers, but I'm afraid I have no idea as to where they would be advertised |
