I'm currently a graduating senior at the University of Oregon, majored in Japanese.
Teaching EFL in a foreign country has been my dream ever since I got into French in middle school, and in high school my passion sort of transferred over to Japan。I have been studying Japanese language and culture now for more than six years and have experienced the highs and lows of learning, experiencing, and being immersed in a foreign culture. I have both great enthusiasm for Japan and also realistic understanding that I did not have when I was an idealistic teenager. The only thing I know for sure is that teaching, culture and language studies, as well as Japan are the best fit for me as all my educational and work experience has prepared me for it.
I'm in the process of applying to various jobs right now, but this blog will:
-document my journey from the point of looking for a job to (hopefully) the point of being employed as an English teacher in Japan.
-post useful resources and information about teaching itself as I come in contact with it, as well as the process of finding work.
-post Japanese language information, if you're working somewhere it is good to know something about the language
-talk about issues relevant to expats and people working abroad, mostly in Japan but some topics may brush on other countries too
You can contact me for more information. Please enjoy your stay.
ごゆっくりしてくださいね！
