TIA for any responses! And apologies for formatting, writing on my phone.
I have just finished my M TESOL in Australia (grad ceremony is December) and am wondering if English teaching internships are a thing at all in Japan? I have done an exchange in high school and my undergrad and am wanting to return but can’t commit to a full 12 month contract.
I have done some googling and found there’s some internships where I pay to essentially do ALT work for free. Just wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of something where I don’t have to pay to volunteer? Obviously paying for flights/housing is fine, but a program fee seems weird to me.
Am fully flexible with location, have always really wanted to spend more time in Hokkaido but also have friends in Tokyo, Kyoto and Okayama so they’re probably my next preferences.
Alternatively, I am contemplating applying for a standby ALT position with either Interac or Altia but am a bit terrified by some of the reviews in this sub 😅
Edit to add: also interested in shorter term (<6m) research assistant positions!
