	Teach in Japan - Eikaiwa
		Easy Eikaiwa is designed to scale from private teachers out to schools with several campuses without making much difference to your fixed expenses.The bigger players probably have a large enough IT budget to develop their own in-house solutions, so I’m here to offer the same services to those who need a cheap point of entry.
		One Japanese AEON employee tells me that there are 4 Japanese instructors at her branch (a few are part-time) and the rest are foreigners (who are all full-time.
		AEON is one of the eikaiwa that does allow fraternisation (that is, drinking and socialising) with paying students outside of school hours.

	Geographies of the Eikaiwa Wonderland
		Eikaiwa is a Japanese term that can be translated as “the activity of English conversation.” It is often used metonymically to mean an organization that teaches conversational English, particularly one of the big private English conversation schools.
		The corporate history of AEON serves as a typical example of the historical growth of one of the bigger English schools.
		The complex properties of the eikaiwa wonderland are constituted by an interaction between larger social modalities, such as the labor market and associated economic geographies of internationalization that condition the gendered participation, and the daily practices and rituals that take place within the physical spaces of eikaiwa.

		Aeon is one of many chain English-conversation ("eikaiwa") schools that cater to working adults in Japan, where English-language instruction is a thriving industry.
		Aeon is neither the only Japanese business to hire foreign celebrities as spokes-models nor the only one to alter a star's image to meet Japanese tastes.
		When Diaz smiles out from Aeon posters in a pose intimating that she has found part-time work as an eikaiwa instructor, she's suggesting that it's not an impossibility that she'd be inclined to spend some downtime in Japan between films.

	Japan Forums - Rules for students at eikaiwa...
		There is a student in her class that is studying the same level for the second year with the same book and is also frustrated by the system.
		I know the other side of eikaiwa as a teacher and know that the staff is mostly concerned about sales and will say just about anything to keep the student so they get money from them.
		It didn't apply solely to eikaiwa (it dealt with contracts at large), but it was something that could have - and maybe has had - a big impact on the industry.

	eikaiwa: English schools that hire overseas
		Here are more pro's fore Aeon: they pay for your plane ticket home, you get a nice little bonus when you leave, there's room for advancement in their large corporation, they pay what would work out to $40,000/yr U.S., and you get your own apartment.
		I applied to Nova, Geos and Aeon, and Aeon was the only one who worked with me to make the application process as inexpensive and simple as possible.
		Basically what it comes down to when yer working for one of the large eikaiwa's is that the good/bad of your experience is going to depend a lot on the branch you end up at.

	EIKAIWA
		The eikaiwa gakkō industry is dominated by chain schools like AEON and Babel.
		Smaller, privately owned eikaiwa schools also abound, and flourish in the less populated areas that are often neglected by the large chains.
		The typical eikaiwa gakkō instructor is a young college graduate from North America.

		One thing though kokujin about the pay and such, JET pays for your flight to Japan, Aeon doesn't, but Aeon does pay for your flight home, plus a nice bonus when you end your contract, almost 3 grand if you do 2 years or more.
		She was an ex Aeon also and is now an overseas recruiter.
		I've also put a lot of thought into doing it and I will definately say that Aeon is the top of dog poo pile in terms of eikaiwa.

		What we are talking about here is the poop, the goods, the news, the rumors, the gossip, the truth and the utterly unsubstantiated tales of eikaiwa (English conversation to you newbies).
		However, such institutions are few and far between; eikaiwa simply rules the landscape the way fast food rules North America.
		For over a decade, NOVA, GEOS, and AEON have not been enrolling their instructors into shakai hoken, Japan's health insurance and pension plans, plans which they are obligated to enroll you in by law.

	Got a job with Aeon Corp, I will be living in Nagoya... - Page 3 - Outpost Nine Forums
		The reason why the eikaiwas don't allow much overtime these days is the extra overtime hours push you over the edge to what would be considered full time, thus making it compulsory for the company to sign you onto Shokai Hoken, nation health insurance.
		I knew NOBODY in Eikaiwa who did that, who lived the Japanese system in that regard except the Japanese staff.
		Its like he is trying to say Eikaiwa teachers follow that strange Japanese system of staying till the boss does.

	General Union Big Lies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Since the big companies in the eikaiwa industry are doing pretty good business (on the books, anyway) they would have a LOT of explaining to do if they were to suddenly lay off a bunch of teachers and close down schools because they didn't enroll the teachers in shakai hoken.
		It is not about hurting the Eikaiwas, it is about bringing the Eikaiwas to task, and making sure that all workers for these Eikaiwas are properly covered under Japanese law.
		This is bad for Japan (full time workers are not paying their fair share into the health system), this is bad for the Eikaiwa industry as a whole (being known to engage in illegal activities to increase profits) and this is bad for the teachers (not getting the cover they are legally entitled to).

		Omiya is what I'd call "metropolitan" but the Japanese call it "rural" because if you stand on the roof of the second floor, you can see the horizon and the train station is a brisk fifteen minute walk away.
		The head of the corporation spoke to us about AEON as a company and what he expects to give to the students.
		He inspired us with a theory of 'energy', that positive energy is generated from positive words, and energy dies with each negative word one speaks.
