Hi, i has been my dream for a few years to become a english teacher i japan.
I am curently 17, French, still in high school, and i don't know if i actualy stand a chance.
Firstly, i am not a native speaker, i'm French, I curently have a level of English between B1+ and B2 (and I aim for C1 at the end of high school)
I don't have the usual "French accent" when i speak english, but i'm not sure if my accent is good enough yet.
After high school, I intend to get a Bachellor's degree, but most likely not about English or Japanese, as they all ask for good grades in French, which I don't have.
I also intend to get the TEFL, and at the end of high school, my school will make me pass the Cambridge Certificate with a B2 level.
I am transgender (MtF) and i should have a good enough passing when i'll graduate.
Also, since I read on the JET program website that its important, I love the Japanese culture, and I intend to continue working in Japan after the JET program.
I also am learning Japanese.
So, do you think I have a chance of being accepted for the JET program?
And if no, what should I improve, and what other options are their to become a English teacher in Japan?
