JapanesePod Lead Teacher

As the leader of JapanesePod, you will be creating fun, exciting Japanese lessons together with a native Japanese-speaking Lead Host and delivering them to a virtually unlimited audience via podcast. This is an opportunity to teach in a communicative — rather than grammar-driven — way, to right the wrongs of the textbook-dominated classroom, and to re-kindle the enthusiasm that has been beaten out of students by years of outdated pedagogy. As a native English speaker, the insights you’ve gained in while mastering Japanese are invaluable.

Go to http://spanishpod.com/lessons/bottle-of-water and listen — the Lead Teacher is the male voice, JP, and the JapanesePod Lead Teacher will fill the same speaking role for Japanese.

Requirements:

  • Native English speaker, with fluency of Japanese acquired as an adult.
  • Masters Degree in linguistics, education, or Japanese.
  • Teaching experience and strong academic foundations.
  • Experience teaching with new technologies.
  • Familiarity with computers and the Internet.
  • Intense dissatisfaction with the current state of language teaching.
  • An infectious passion for teaching and learning.

This is a full-time position.
