Suggested path for teaching English in Japan as an MA student?
I’m aiming to study a masters degree at the University of Kyushu in a few years: they teach the only English-language history MA course in the country as far as I can tell, but I’ll need a while to learn Japanese reading to a high enough level for the course.
I think teaching English part-time would be the best way for me to make enough money while I’m there. I’ve been looking into part-time CELTA and TEFL courses, and seem to get the impression that I’ll be the most prepared for teaching with the former.
Do you think that’s the right choice? If so, where is the best place to achieve the qualification in London? I’m assuming I would teach at Eikaiwas, and if so, are there any in Fukuoka that I should look into? Also, if you have any recommendations for Japanese courses in London, and any other advice, anything is appreciated!
