	Eikaiwa \| English \| Dictionary & Translation by Babylon

		Many parents send their children to eikaiwa in the hope of improving their child's hopes of higher education, or to encourage them to be at ease with foreigners.

	Canned by GEOS, other opportunities? - Outpost Nine Forums
		GEOS would have to release your visa to another English school, and they won't do that w/o talking to them about their reasons/feelings why you're gone...
		Also hope GEOS doesn't call immigration to cancel it, which they might well do (which would make you an over-stayer, subject to deportation, and unable to re-enter for something like 5 years).
		No need in having eikaiwa teaching readers fear for their legal status in the country -- working for an eikaiwa is enough to worry about without the spectre of deportation looming over their heads.

	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.

	Keeping Pace in Japan
		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.
		Geos also promotes socializing with students outside of class, so your statement is incorrect.

	ELT News: Teaching English in Japan - Special Feature
		Not to mention the fact that their (Eikaiwa teachers) communication skills and ability to work cross-culturally far exceed that of most people- regardless of industry or profession.
		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.

	E-Budo.com - Quitting your job in Japan
		They can't cancel your visa if you don't finish your contract, they may say that but it is BS, If they do they have to explain to immigration why they fired you and believe me Eikaiwa Schools DON'T want immigration rooting around through their records.......which is what they will do when the investigate.
		Those schools will train you, set you up with housing and are located in so many areas, the chance of them getting a job near their lubby-dubby hubby are quite high.
		GEOS seems to give their teachers a fair number of opportunities for professional development, so while the day-to-day work might be brain-rotting, at least you have a chance to learn something about foreign language instruction.

		Still he is one of the 'experts' (so-called) at a very popular forum on Eikaiwa and he is telling people incorrectly how to get a job in Japan.

		If they do, they will take a lot of abuse from the complainers already ensconced there, and they are too busy enjoying their lives to log on and post.

		This means that 100% of NOVA, GEOS, and AEON full time teachers must be enrolled (since they work over thirty hours per week).

	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.
		After completing one year of teaching, GEOS will also allow you to take a one month leave of absence to participate in the CELTA (Certified in English Language Teaching to Adults) training program.
		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.

		The term Eikaiwa (Japanese: 英会話) is the Japanese word for "English conversation." Some speakers of English use the term to mean English language schools in Japan, which are also commonly referred to as English conversation schools.

	Secrets on Teaching English in Japan
		For the vocationless graduate with a penchant for travel, the call of TEFL is strong.
		With over 340 schools to fill with some 4000 recruits from overseas, NOVA is the biggest single employer of foreign staff and Geos is hot on it’s footsteps.
		Take it from me, their insatiable thirst for fresh faces is less to do with growth, more to do with a high drop-out rate as new teachers discover, to their dismay, the true meaning of the Japanese work ethic.

		As soon as the first 100 clones were produced, GEOS began terminating teachers in schools throughout Japan.
		The head of the GEOS team, Dr. Miodrag Dragenstojkovic, revealed that the breakthrough could be successful only after gaining a complete map of Bridget Nielsen's DNA.

	Are the teach English in Japan programs legitimate? \| Ask MetaFilter
		If he wants to teach only adults, he could do that at an eikaiwa school, and he would probably be able to live in a large city.
		The main problem about eikaiwa schools I have heard about are the many, many complaints about illegal working conditions - things like unpaid overtime, or being given part-time hours so the company doesn't have to provide benefits.
		None of the eikaiwas provide you with a flight to Japan, though NOVA (and probably others) sends somebody to meet you at the airport and get you to your apartment safely.

		I've already taught English at one of the big eikaiwas and I did not like it.
