Japan Exchange and Teaching Scheme

www.jet-uk.org

Anyone heard of this? Or done this?

It's something I picked up on at an open day at Keele and thought it sounds fantastic. I might try it for a year after I get my degree...touch wood :biggrin:

Anyone know of any similar schemes?

I knew someone that did it, she said it was brilliant. I met loads of English teachers in Japan, its all foreigners seem to do. It seems the biggest suggestion, is if you do it don't do it in a city (especially Tokyo), because you'll find learning Japanese solid, and things will be quite lonely. My mate did it in a small village, and stayed with a local family, so the rent was practically nothing, and she had brilliant Japanese cooking every day. If you do it, you'll end up in some tiny apartment, with a huge rent. In cities people are always trying to practice their English on you too...

Oh my friend in Osaka (different from above), who I stayed with, has been there 4 years and still can't speak that well. I'd suggest some hardcore lessons before you leave, and try to speak as little English as you can outside lessons.
