That's a great idea and English tutors are in high demand in Japan, but you will need a diploma to qualify as a full-time English teacher. I'm just starting to learn Japanese myself because I want to take a long vacation there next year; if only I wasn't too old for the JET program I could get there on a budget. I envy you! To become qualified you will have to study Japanese for about 4 years, but the JET program is designed for teens so I think it's your best opportunity. Get in touch with them and you'll soon be on your way to experiencing life in Japan; you won't get another chance like it so go ahead. :-) If you want to live in Japan, learning Japanese is definitely the way to go; Japan is the most expensive place to live in the world and they don't grant residence easily,but as an English teacher you would have a valuable skill and earn a good living. Four years sounds like a long time when you're a kid but I really think you should go for it.

It would be much more productive and useful if you asked this this question on http://www.eslcafe.com/ - one of the largest and most comprehensive overseas teaching sites. It has a job forum, teachers' forums, lessons....the other very useful website is http://www.transitionsabroad.com/ PS - on the eslcafe website, you will have direct contact with hundreds of teachers already there and they can give you current and useful information. Good Luck

I suppose he could if he gets the right VISA. Ask the AMA.

probably not. most countries require you be reaccredited via a local system. even canada requires that. http://www.med.or.jp/english/

Need to pass the Japanese national exam held in Japanese. And people do not speak English in Japan.

If English is your first language, it will be easy for you to become an English teacher. Some schools might be hesitant to hire you because of your Asian face but I think these days a lot more are open-minded. Here are some websites to get you started ... http://www.jobsinjapan.com/ http://www.tfemploy.go.jp/index_en.html http://www.tempuniversal.co.jp/eng/index.html http://resocia.jp/news/global/recommended.html http://www.senseup.cn/english/ http://tokyo.craigslist.org/

Check out this site. It has listings for lots of positions. I am an American in Japan and this is where I found my job. Also contact the Japanese Embassy for suggestions. www.gaijinpot.com

"Any job will do"...The problem with that is most jobs there require that you can speak, read and write as well as a native Japanese. You need a BA / BS degree just to teach English there. And I'm not sure if they'll accept a degree from a school in the Philippines. They also may not want another Asian to teach English. Japan isn't a easy place to live. You'll probably be better off staying in the PI. Other-wise you will have wasted all that time and money it took for you to go to college there.

Why Japan? Japan is a nation that seldom accepts foreigners. Go to the USA. It's a immigrant nation.
5 :
What about Taiwan? People are so friendly to foreigners. And I've seena Philippines who teach english in Taiwan. (She has degree of english education). Good luck. Where ever you go, I'ill cross my finger for you!
6 :
your english is good ,maybe you can find a job to teach english in Japan.
7 :
what i did was go to japan and then look for a job. it all worked out just fine, but maybe i was just lucky.

Where is the best place to work in Japan
Where is the best place to work in Japan?
I am thinking of working in Japan as an ESL teacher. I am looking at cost of living expenses, the cultural wealth, and ability to find foreign goods (books, clothes that fit westerners, etc.).I worker in South Korea for 5 years and I am ready for a change.

I would advise you to stick to major cities. Tokyo is sort of the center of the universe for Japanese people but it's not for everyone. You will definitely have more opportunities there, both career and culture-wise. I like Sendai and Sapporo is nice if you like the cold. Check out the links below and good luck.
2 :
Anywhere but NOVA English schools. They are the largest English language school chain in Japan but are having serious trouble paying their staff due to government sanctions.
3 :
When I was in Japan, I found the Japanese to be more open and friendly to ESL teachers than when I was in South Korea. Does anyone else agree? In Japan you have to pay your own accommodation. Living expenses are higher in Japan, than in Korea. Japan does have an amazing atmosphere, especially when celebrating their festivals, I'd really recommend it. You can ask the information desk at the airport where to buy foreign style clothes. I did and it worked out for me.
