I am currently training to be a primary school teacher (age 7-11) I am also learning to speak japanese and would love to teach in Japan, either in a japanese school or an english or american school in japan when i qualify or during the holidays. How would i go about this? I dont know where to start! Has anyone done this before? Either in Japan or somewhere else? Thanks :)

If you want to teach in an intl school, first you'll have to teach in your home country for two years. See here http://tefltips.blogspot.com/2008/11/international-schools.html If you want to teach English, TEFL, then just go. JET Is a good programme.

In general you'll need a degree (although there are still possibilities if you do not have this) and a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate to get a visa and work. The TEFL certificate can be taken either in-house or online at your own pace which is a much cheaper option (see http://icalweb.com). Then it's just a matter of getting a job - simple really, just check online and there are plenty advertised.
