The TEFL world just keeps giving to me today. Well actually, Alex&#8217;s blog is really the one that keeps giving if truth be told.
I stumbled upon this article which Alex had linked, and which is quite simply amazing in its detailing of the latest forays of English teaching in Japan.
The article details the efforts of [...]]]></description>

Hindsight is a great thing, not least because with it comes the ability to be able to reflect on things that have happened and see them in a different light.
I&#8217;m coming up to the end of my short lived &#8216;career&#8217; as an English teacher in Japan, or to give it a bit more accuracy, my [...]]]></description>

As of this week I officially start in my new job. Even though I&#8217;ve been working there once a week for the last month, this week is the proper beginning of my new job life in Japan.

Following on from my quick blurb about Alex Case&#8217;s recent post on the mysteries of Japanese motivation in the classroom, I&#8217;ve got round to formulating some thoughts on the issue. While it&#8217;s definitely not something I can claim to have much experience of, having worked in Japanese classrooms (or the pretence of depending on how [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No matter how prepared you are, how trained or how keen, one thing you won&#8217;t be ready for when teaching in an Eikaiwa in Japan for the first time is how quickly your motivation can be sapped. And how many people you&#8217;ll deal with who have no seeming motivation to learn. I know I sound [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s been a funny few weeks. Back at work following a long and nice break for the Obon holiday (main summer holiday in Japan) and there&#8217;s been a string of fairly comic moments, which all culminated today. Let me entertain you if you will&#8230;
First I discovered that someone, somewhere thought it would be a good [...]]]></description>

So it&#8217;s been over 7 months since I started being a teacher, and packed it all for a new life (in pretty much every meaning of the sense) on the other side of the world.
