You need nothing, (you do not even need to be a native speaker) I do not know exactly what you earn but the 4000 yen number is usually what is thrown around

You will go through a interview process and if accepted you go straight to teaching after a few introductory days

he doesn't seem to have any clue what he is talking about. Do your research on your own.
English teaching jobs in Japan vary a great deal so there's no point asking here. But I can tell you for sure if you're making 4000 yen an hour and you're not a native speaker and you have no qualifications, you are also not working 8 hours a day. It is damn near impossible to get a job as a non-native speaker, but if you're making 4000 an hour, you are doing private lessons and you're lucky to get 3 a day.

To teach for them you need nothing

>>53957268

U wot m8??

There are no full time ESL jobs in Japan that pay 4000 an hour for a full 8 hour day haha u havin a laugh?

Eikaiwa pay works out to like 1500-1800 yen an hour.

There are 4k an hour jobs but they are generally limited hours. For example, ECC's kindergarten program thingy pays 4k an hour but the hours are very limited. It's like a few hours a week.

That pay full time would work out to like 640,000 yen a month. full time ESL teachers make like 250,000 a month bro. You're daft.

I am not an English teacher, but I know a couple. Based on that and my general perception, Japanese attitudes toward English teachers range from thinking it's cool/glad you're here to teach English to simply indifferent. Japanese don't really give a shit about English teachers. The vitriol and trolling comes from other foreigners, principally online.

Well, it does depend a lot on the person.
My first Spanish teacher was a spainiard and could barely form a german sentence. Pupils were climbing the fucking blackboard while we watched a video.
My jaoanese teachers were all nice, but since we all voluntarily took it up, it was a lot more chill. Still, i had the feeling they all tried their best to teach. They also more seemed to just happen to end up as japanese teachers here. One of them also put some effort into pronouncing our language in the past with the l and r thing

I've met many more people who seem to like that people want to live in Japan. I bet for most English teachers it's a mixture of both wanting to live in Japan and wanting to actually do their jobs well. But at some level what you're saying doesn't make sense. Think about it. We can't teach English as a foreign language in our own countries. At a fundamental level, the profession requires us to want to live in foreign countries. Do you really want teachers who DON'T want to live in Japan teaching you English here???

You can't just say some random thing hoping it slips by because you emphasize the word seems.
If something seems to you a certain way, there should still be a reason. So what something seems to be to you can still be evaluated. Your impression of something is perfectly capable of being called intellectually irresponsible or plain wrong.
And it's both in this case.

And I don't even know where to begin with the bare minimum part. Like, when you have a job, you are paid to do that job. If you're doing what is required of you, why should that be faulted. If an employer pleases to require more, then they can do that and seek people who will do it.
That should never reflect poorly on the person employed in the position. If someone wants to do more for free, that's wonderful. But that doesn't mean people who don't are bad people or bad teachers or whatever.

Anyway, you might try teaching for a year and see if things still "SEEM" that way to you. People who are not teachers have all sorts of criticisms of teachers that are always way off the mark. I am not even sure what the bare minimum is, but I guarantee you that if I get an email on Saturday night when I least feel like engaging with my job, I suck it up.
Any teacher would, because it is way worse to be unprepared in front of a class of 12 year olds who have no fault in the situation.

Yeah. What I am saying is that such people don't exist to the extent people think. This whole thing is a byproduct of the rampant trolling that goes on here and in similar places on the internet.
The vast majority of English teachers in Japan are qualified and educated. The vast majority teach English as a foreign language as their career. They do nothing else and won't do anything else until they retire.
This is basically a huge strawman. Yes, the idea of an English teacher coming to Japan to fuck around and who doesn't actually give a shit deserves no respect and is a joke. But DO THESE PEOPLE ACTUALLY EXIST??
Show me who they are.

There are a lot of Japanese teachers who teach Japanese to company expats, foreign students, manual laborers, and those who married to Japanese.
I said immigrants because I assumed that there are lots of people who migrate to English speaking countries without knowing enough English. I also hear that a lot of them stay that way for years.
Anyway there are lots of ways to teach English in English speaking countries.
I'd expect those who teach English in Japan to earn that sort of experiences before coming to Japan... for at least 2 years or something. Like the case for other professions.

Unfortunately no one is born with experience. Teachers have to train somewhere. So if everyone thought like you, then new teachers would never get jobs.

Setting that aside, if you have a problem with people being hired for teaching jobs that require no experience in teaching, your issue is not with the people who take them. Those people could actually become quite good at their jobs with a year of experience especially with some guidance. Your issue is with shitty JAPANESE companies and the foolish people who keep them in business.

If even 20% of the people in the world felt this way about their jobs, you'd be on to something. But actually most people do their jobs because they have to pay bills. It's not as romantic as "this is my passion" but that's how it is. So do we stop respecting shop clerks and garbage men who have higher aspirations and are not in their dream job? Why do English teachers in Japan get bashed if they use this job as a stepping stone or as a way to pay bills but not shop clerks, garbage men, office workers, bus drivers, etc?

Japan is short of computer programmers as well, but people with no experience won't be able to come and be a programmer here.
Why should English teachers be treated differently? The whole system is making the English teaching profession "something anyone can do."

they should actually be the only things you take issue with. What you have is people without experience at least trying. And after a year, they will be much more experienced that even someone with a degree in teaching EFL.

The bus is still going to go from point a to point b even if the bus driver hates his work

The office guys is a bit of a gray zone but that is the companies problem is it not?

Have you realized it yet?

Tarou pays for his English lesson wanting to get as much out of his hard earned cash as possible and he can either get Experienced Harry or Pillow fucking bob and depending on who he gets decides on what he gets out of his money due to an dedicated teacher obviously being more effective and that is most probably the reason why the students are so fucking blunt when they feel like they have not gotten what they wanted out of the lesson due to to getting pillow fucking bob instead of harry and in turn feeling cheated and then pissed off tarou goes around saying how he fucking hates English because he only get pillow fucking bob all the time, we both knows that bad experiences cement harder then positive ones

That's a different can of worms. I happen to believe that you can do an average job at it as long as you are not incompetent. But regardless, if this is the way you want to go, my point is that probably 80% of teachers would be pillow fucking bobs. Not English teachers. I mean teachers all across Japan, Japanese included. Do you think all your teachers would have said teaching is their dream job? If it's about passion, then why all the bullshit about experience? If you have the experience and no passion, suddenly the experience doesn't guarantee a certain standard?

>>53960371
I say that based on logic bro. You said you are annoyed that English teachers have no experience. You haven't shown me that this is true, and I give you the benefit of the doubt here. Although my experience tells me that most English teachers in fact ARE quite experienced. But fuck it, lets say they're not experienced. In that case, it makes no sense whatsoever to hate them. It makes sense to hate the companies through which they get visas and come to japan to teach. So when I say you should only have an issue in that way, I mean that if you were being logical, this is what you would think.
But you're not being logical. You just want to hate English teachers.

You're now equating teachers with no experience and teachers who take their professions lightly.

You can have teachers who take their professions lightly and who have years of experience anyway. And you can have teachers who take their professions very seriously despite having no experience.

So, if you are annoyed with people because they take their profession lightly, no problem.
But that has nothing to do necessarily with experience.

Came back because I also forgot to mention one last thing

One reason is also because English teaching is more controversial in general

If a group of business guys sit in a group and someone says "Hey that Ikebana rteacher I had sure was bad!" most people are just probably going to say "that sucks" and move on

If someone said "My English teacher was bad" you would probably spark an conversation since most people in the group could probably relate, and they would probably also bring up their bad experiences due to that being more interesting to talk about which risks having the group come to an negative conclusion about their opinions on the profession

Then we also have another big one and that is that they most probably feel forced to spend their money on it or not really actually wanting to learn it but must to become more flexible which puts them in a bad mood in the first place causing them to be more prone to have a negative experience in the first place

And this controversial nature charges the profession more in the first place then a profession which is just there

But this is the company making the person pay.
No matter how you spin this, it is perfectly possible for the most inexperienced English teacher to take the job very seriously.
As in, John fresh off the boat Eikaiwa whatever man spends loads of time making plans and writing up worksheets and making flash cards or whatever. They're shit because he is inexperienced. But he took his job seriously.

What you're describing is someone being irresponsible (precisely due to his being inexperienced), not someone taking the job lightly. If he took it lightly, a more appropriate story to tell is Richard fresh off the boat teacher who shows up to class hung over without even a pencil. See? Even experienced teachers can do this. Because being inexperienced does not equal taking the job lightly.

>>53961403
Actually it does. You don't stop paying your doctors if you get sick and you are not off the hook for legal fees if you go to jail.

The point is that you are trying to blame the teacher for something the company is doing. It is the company putting inexperienced teachers out there. And people seek out teachers via the company. So even if John the new teacher asks for his 2000 yen at the end of his shit lesson, it isn't him requiring the payment, its his company! Anyway, this is an imaginary transaction. You never pay the teacher. You pay the company! So you're still only really able to "not respect" the company, not the teacher.

If you're parodying what I've said so far that's cool. But I really do think that the blame is misplaced. If there really are nothing but inexperienced uneducated people teaching English in Japan, I think something has gone horribly wrong. But I wouldn't blame the people who give it a shot. Cause like I said, anyone who sticks with it a year is going to become at least average at it. If it is actually happening, and I don't believe it is, then I am inclined to find companies that allow it more responsible for their irresponsibility than the people they employ.

As a general rule, if you aren't a Japanese native speaker, don't attempt grammar explanations in Japanese. Not just because you're bound to make deep mistakes, but also because if you have to explain something in Japanese, it isn't the right level of English to be teaching in the first place.

It all started out from the question why people hate/disrespect English teachers in Japan.
So I said I think it's because there are a lot of English teachers who come without experiences, which could be earned prior to actually teaching in Japan. I think they do so because teaching English is an easy job, which actually isn't. I described it as "they are not taking teaching seriously." Then you interpreted it as "they are irresponsible."

Hey, don't know if you're still here, but I'm wondering if this might be more appropriate for what I want to say:

僕は煩わさないの?

"I'm not bothering you, am I?"

>I think they do so because teaching English is an easy job, which actually isn't.
You think they come cause they take the job lightly, I think they come cause they're allowed to.
>they are not taking teaching seriously
But they might actually take it seriously, and just be underestimating how difficult it is. This is just what. Being human? OK, so they underestimated how hard the job would be. Part of this is probably because of companies that don't require anything to come in the first place (another reason to blame companies, not them). But so what? So they thought the job would be easier. Does that mean they are bad people? No. I think it means they are naive. Not a reason for me to hate/disrespect them. If their being naive about how difficult the job is is enough for you to hate/disrespect them, fine.
But their being naive doesn't mean they don't take the job seriously.
Still, John can work as hard as he thinks he needs to. That means he took his job seriously. Now, he may be wrong about how much he needs to work, but that doesn't stem from his being a bad person or his taking the job lightly. It stems from his inexperience.

>僕は煩わさないの

there is something wrong with the time tense...It should be 煩わせていませんか? or something but it still sounds awkward.

I see. Will they understand what I mean if I use your suggestion こんなに話して大丈夫ですか?
I just feel like "Is it okay to talk like this?" could be misinterpreted or too vague. Or is that a set phrase?

Even if I was "allowed to drive a bus," I should not be a professional driver if I wasn't experienced enough to drive with paying passengers on it.
If I started the bus driving job without knowing how difficult that is, there is only one thing I think I should do. Stop driving.
I would be a bad person who doesn't deserve others' respect if I continue the job just because "I'm doing my best" or "show up sober."
