So what goals should I set per year? I know getting them to a "fluent" level is out of the question, but I really want to teach them as much as I can . . .
(I'm stuck between middle and High school as to which I should teach, but again, middle school sseems better . . .)
Please and thank you!  |
Before you start trying to write a syllabus for some class, you need to think about what qualifications you need to be a middle-school Japanese teacher. Firstly, Japanese, secondly, a proper teaching qualification. Do they even teach Japanese in middle schools near you? If not where? What levels of Japanese- Foundation? Elementary? Pre-intermediate? (you need to AT LEAST be one level higher than what you teach, preferably more). How much experience do you need to get to achieve the job you want. What other activities could you be doing to aid your studies and career development.
