teaching english problem
AG asked:


I trained as a teacher at uni and have a 2.1 in Primary Education (7-11) with QTS (Qualified Teacher Status). Although whilst at uni I did 4 seperate teaching practices I didn’t do my NQT year as I got the travel bug. I have however spent the last 2 years in Japanese elementary schools teaching English.

My problem is that I am moving to Princeton with my partner and I would like to work. Can I teach with my current certificate or not?
I have tried reading the information provided by the state, but it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense!

Please help!

Do ESL teachers need to know the language well (say Japanese) to be teaching English in Japan?

Mimi asked:


I am a student thinking of becoming an ESL teacher. I was wondering if it was possible for an ESL teacher to travel around to different places teaching English but having maybe not a very strong language background of other languages (ie. chinese, korean, japanese etc.) Is it a requirement to know the language really well in the country you are teaching ESL in? Or will the basics do? How does it work?
