Thanks a lot and the place does seem to be pretty legit. I interviewed with this place and James. I lost out to James, but was offered a job by Lesley, so I took it. Seems pretty ideal, the...

I didn't even know that. I always wondered if it could be done, though. Well, at least in my case, I've been home for almost a year, so I can go the AAA route again without worrying about getting...

Thanks for that. Where'd you obtain that information, btw? As for places like AEON or GEOS, they usually try to get the teachers to sell their textbooks, right?

Sorry for bumping this thread. I know it's been a while since I've been here, but I was curious of something. I had an IDP, but fortunately never had to drive. The drivers over there are scary....

Hi guys. Hissashiburi! I know it's been a long time since I've posted here. Seems things are a bit different now. I'm also back home in VA and have been for about a year now. I'm ready to try my...

I was about to ask this too. I don't have a credit card at all from back home (not one I can use). I want one to use so that I can send stuff back home or do online shopping since there are some...

He already said no to activities like that long ago. I suggested making Jack-o-Lanterns (just with construction paper and stuff). "No imagination".

As for the story thing, the story would be...

I've been to Englipedia and was actually there before I decided to make this thread. The thing is, he prefers them to have a writing type assignment (since they're third years) or an activity of...

Hey everyone. I was just asked tonight if I could come up with a lesson based around Halloween by Monday or Tuesday so that I can teach the lesson by Friday. For all of September, I'd been giving...

Wow, thanks for sharing this, NinjaPenguin. I don't work with an Elementary School, but I do have children in that age group for my private lessons. This will be very helpful and just may help me...

Never mind...I finally thought of something to do since I did get to spend time with one of the children.

I wish I had that luxury, as that's how it is here. The non-homeroom teachers eat in the staff room and the homeroom teachers eat lunch with their classes. I'm forced to eat with the students by...

Now that sounds like a really fun idea. Too bad I don't know any old teachers or students of that age range right off...maybe. My old middle school English teacher might still teach there. When I...

Hello everyone. So far, since I've been at the JHS that I'm working for, everything's been going smoothly when it comes to the first and second year English classes, mainly because as most here know...

Complete and utter laziness. I've had some form of this screen name since about 2000. Everyone just knows who I am with it, so I just never changed it. That aside, I'm doing okay. I still lurk,...

Do it after work. =P

I like the sticker thing. I'm going to keep that in mind. It's funny how even the older students like them. I never would've guessed. I just couldn't imagine high-school students here accepting...

Congrats to all of you who received an interview! Now, time to prepare for that.DC was slow last year too, if I'm remembering right.

Bumping, but has anyone ever worked for Heart that didn't have a bad experience. I swear, I've never seen anything written out that's been good about the place.

Thanks a lot for that. That helped out quite a bit. At least now I know that a "prize" doesn't have to consist of something bought.

I was wondering about something recently. When coming up with games for Japanese classes, is it okay to give prizes to the person or the team that wins the game? I just always felt that it's nice...

Yeah. I just lurk more than I post. No need to leave just because I'm not a JET and not applying this year.

If I were applying this year, I'd go with something in between "confident" and not so confident. Last year, I would've said someplace between in the bag and confident.

I can see that for recent college/university graduates, but have a tough time believing that someone older never having any type of a job (full or otherwise) prior to coming to Japan. In other...

You sound just like me. I'm from Virginia, so our summers are similar to yours. Quite humid in the summer, which means, staying in the house for the majority of it since I don't "get along" with...
