	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 goals of this project were to investigate the character of gendered participation in private English conversation schools (eikaiwa) and to identify a set of historically-rooted social, cultural and economic factors that contribute to this situation.
		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.

	ELT News: Teaching English in Japan - Special Feature
		Eikaiwa itself cannot be defended, but teachers within the system need a positive voice.
		It is to help organizations outside of the Eikaiwa system to understand how to tell the difference between a teacher who is a professional working in Eikaiwa and one who is simply working in Japan.
		There are many skilled people working in Eikaiwa who have the proper teaching credentials and education to move in "mainstream education", but many US accredited schools will not count Eikaiwa teaching as experience.

	Japanese Confetti: Eikaiwa
		There are plenty of Eikaiwa around the place, but the four biggest are Nova (the largest, most prominent, and seemingly most controversial, they even have their own Arcade game!), Aeon, Geos and ECC (collectively known, somewhat unsurprisingly, as The Big Four).
		Starting in the 1978 (the birth of the JET program), the Japanese government started promoting English language conversation, which in turn fueled the growth of private language schools, a situation that was also helped by the Japanese price asset bubble, and the remarkable growth of the Japanese economy.
		Some are just studying English as a hobby, some need it for their jobs, some want to travel abroad (every second student has been to Hawaii and Cairns at least once), and some are forced to come by their ambitious parents.

	Keeping Pace in Japan
		Even if you're from a country that qualifies you for a Working Holiday Visa, the eikaiwa will secure your place in Japan for one year, not to mention go through the most difficult parts of the application process for you.
		With salesmanship of the eikaiwa under scrutiny (due to the recent legal action against NOVA), I would think AEON would be eager to hear some legitimate concerns foreign teachers have about their work environment.
		Regardless of the eikaiwa reaction, however, I will be posting links to the necessary information if you are considering working at AEON, working at an eikaiwa chain school, coming to Japan, or would just like to hear my experiences.

	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.
		Gaba is another eikaiwa, which has tried to distinguish itself from the rest by offering only one-on-one (or, as they say, ‘man-to-man’) lessons and by integrating computer technology to the lessons.
		I wrote briefly about The Big Four eikaiwa a while ago, but now that I’ve been here for a while and I’ve talked to different teachers, it’s time to be a bit more in-depth.

	How to come to Japan as an English Teacher
		To become an Eikaiwa teacher one must first have a Bachelor's Degree from a 4-year college, but the degree does not have to be in teaching.
		LIke many of the other Eikaiwa schools, AEON requires its instructors to work for around 30 hours a week, but no more than 25 hours of this time is allowed to be spent teaching.
		ECC will prepare all of the needed documents for a work visa to enter Japan and also recommends that you bring at least 250,000 yen with you to take care of the relocation expenses and any other costs when you first come to Japan.

		Japan's largest "eikaiwa" chain, Nova, is already being probed by the Social Insurance Agency and could see itself slapped with a multibillion-yen bill for missed payments.
		For eikaiwa teachers, however, that figure rises to between 96 and 97 percent, making it possible for most to get an almost full refund of their pension premiums.
		Bisom points out that teachers are left highly dependent on their schools; the "eikaiwa" schools are normally responsible for their teachers' visas, and often their apartments.

	Gaba Teachers Association: Serving Gaba, Nova, Geos, Aeon, ECC, teachers in Japan since 2005
		But waking up and having an ECC trainer screaming commands is nothing less then hell.
		ECC trainers hope to break down the new recruits in order to build them back up in accordance with the core ECC teaching philosophy.
		ECC head trainer Tom Kealdy remarked that seeing the looks of the new ECC teachers as they recieved their ECC pin reminded him of the reason why he got in the training business in the first place.

	Japan Today - Pop Vox - What do you think about English schools such as NOVA, GABA, ECC and others like them? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This reminds me of one time when I was hitting it off socially with a nice looking ECC manager when she suddenly said "I want you to help out at our Christmas party next Saturday." "Sure, and you can come and weed my garden on Sunday" I replied.
		I have only had experience teaching with NOVA and felt the lessons themselves were completely useless for the students (same old grammar and repetition they learn in high school or can tune in to NHK and learn), but the VOICE room had some advantages for the teachers to tailor the lessons to the student`s needs.
		The smaller eikaiwa were hit or miss when it came to teachers making their own lesson plans.

	Eigo no sensei? [Archive] - Japan Forum (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Just too many benefits and safety hatches that if you can handle being a monkey in a zoo (haha, although, that's what Eikaiwa means anyway in general) for a year or too, you'd be ready to find much better work later compared going with the big Eikaiwa companies.
		Nova is a good start at least and you might be able to transfer betwen branches and their training should be as good as ECC which is pretty isn't that far from a ESL basic course.
		I used to work for ECC for 4 years and was basically in charge of a whole prefecture so at one time I was up on the news.

	DV-L Digest vol. 1 no. 881
		ECC and non-ECC usually get along on the same mobo, but most of the time, the ECC part will be ignored if non-ECC is in the mix.
		ECC is something of a tradeoff, but not a big one.
		This board was tested with 256MB ECC Registered SDRAMs, and ECC unregistered smaller modules with warnings not to mix reg'ed with unreg'ed types --implying that ECC UNregistered modules of the larger 256MB modiles were OK to use--just don't mix them.

	Health and Pension Rights
		Also, since a full timer can be any number of hours, ECC teachers who have 29.5 hour contracts and are called full timers are eligible.
		Due to the fact that most foreign workers (90%), especially Eikaiwa teachers, return home within three years, most of the employee's pension premiums will be returned.
		Comment: ECC believes that since teachers are not working 30 hours, there is no need to enrol.

	Teach English Abroad
		The majority of jobs are in conversation schools (eikaiwas), then assistant language teaching and finally university teaching only for the most qualified.
		30-35 teaching hours/week for most eikaiwas and the work is predominantly in the evenings.
		Most of the big language school chains, known as the Big 4 (Nova, Aeon, Geos and ECC) recruit teachers from abroad and reimburse your airfare.

	eikaiwa: ECC Application Question
		I looked in the memories and didn't see anything about this, so I figured I might as well ask.
		I recently sent in the online application form to the Toronto office of ECC.
		Has anyone had experience with their application process either way?
