Press Release Body: Have you spent a lot of time on the Internet searching for ideas
and opportunities in order to work and live in another country? Have you ever been
interested in Japan and Japanese culture? Have you ever fantasized about living in
this beautiful country? Borderlink is currently looking for reliable professionals
with a genuine interest in teaching English in Japan to work at public elementary,
junior high and high schools for the school year beginning in April, 2009.
Experience is always favorable, but it is not required. We do require that you be
ready to commit to at least a full year contract, and be continually punctual during
your time in Japan. Before the school year starts in April, we will have training
and provide you will all the necessary information to get you started. As with any
job you will get better with experience, but rest assured we will give you all the
tools you will need at the training sessions before the school year starts and
throughout the term of your contract. Below is a brief description of Japan and the
position so you can start to visualize what it would be like.


Japan is an island country in East Asia in the Pacific Ocean. The characters that
make up Japan's name mean "sun-origin country", which is why Japan is sometimes
identified as the "Land of the Rising Sun". Japan is a well known country for comic
books (manga) and a huge range of electronics. For this reason, a large number of
foreigners here seem to miss out on many of the great opportunities of working and
living here.


ALTs assist Japanese teachers of English to deliver lessons in the classroom and are
involved in lesson planning and other language teaching tasks. Other duties include
taking part in after/before school club activities and other school events, as well
as undertaking tasks not related to teaching such as cleaning the school together
with the students. When it comes to the students at public schools, you must keep in
mind that things are culturally very different in Japan. In Japan, a quiet student
is considered a good student, so they do not like to stand out. At times you may
feel frustrated and think that the students don't like your lessons, but it is good
to keep in mind that it is largely due to the cultural differences. Traditional
English instruction at schools usually consists of mostly English grammar and
translation, so many students have no opportunity to listen to or speak in English.


Overall, Japan is an easy and pleasant place to live and work. It is considerably
safe, and it is easy to navigate your way around. For a more detailed description,
or for more information about our company, please refer to the Borderlink website.


We urge that all who have interest in working in Japan at public junior high and
elementary schools for the 2009-2010 school year in the Kanto region of Japan apply
now. The position will begin in April, 2009, and the monthly renumeration will be
from 240,000 - 250,000 depending on experience and qualifications. We are currently
only accepting applications from overseas applicants. We would be more than happy to
answer any questions you may have. Thank you for reading, and we look forward to
hearing from you soon!
