    Description:

    English Teacher

    Full time. Salary: 350,000 yen/month.

    Position for teachers who enjoy working with a variety of students in an array of programs, want to participate in a school on the institutional level, are highly organized with short/long-term time management skills, like being part of a team, are keen to be active in professional development, and are flexible.

    Responsibilities include 82+ contact hours/month, and other various administrative duties. Write curriculum, develop materials for, and teach EFL to community course students of all levels from young children to adults. Also teach concurrent residential immersion programs for high school students (large groups) and business professionals (small groups); prepare and conduct classes during a one-week summer workshop for teachers of English; and plan and participate in extracurricular activities.

    University degree (MA preferred) and two years teaching both adults and children required. Demonstrated interest in teaching children is important because half of the regular teaching hours are dedicated to children's classes. Excellent writing skills are also necessary. Because of the demanding nature of the position, teachers for whom learning Japanese or engaging in cultural pursuits is a main priority are discouraged from applying. Sponsorship is available. Seven weeks paid vacation at set times, completion bonus, paid orientation (at half salary). Renewable contract. Starting date: March 2003.

Apply by mail with a) a resume, b) diploma(s), c) an essay (one page maximum titled "Why I Want to Live and Work in Japan"), and d) three letters of reference (referees should have first-hand knowledge of applicant's teaching) to Search Committee, LIOJ (Language Institute of Japan), Asia Center Odawara, Shiroyama 4-14-1, Odawara, Kanagawa, 250-0045, Japan.
