This 2 for 1 offer includes the fifth edition of the most comprehensive
guide to overseas teaching holidays for Australians and New Zealanders
along with the second edition of Japan: A Working Holiday Guide for a great insider's view of Japan.
The
Teaching Overseas third edition covers just about all the options available to Australians and New Zealanders who wish to teach overseas. These include: teaching English, working in international schools, teaching in mainstream schools, volunteer teaching and some advice on educational consulting.
In addition there are 14 chapters written by those who have done it, ranging from teaching in a mining camp in Indonesia to an exchange teacher in Washington State in the US. Loads of contacts and websites to follow up on areas of interest.
The
Japan: A Working Holiday Guide is written in more of a
narrative style and draws those in who are not intending to work in
Japan, but have an interest in the country.
Since 1980, Australians have been travelling to Japan on a working
holiday visa, mostly to teach English. Australians also work in Japan on
the JET Program (working in schools and local government) along with
those on a work visa.
The book has several
sections including an introduction to cultural customs and what its like
to be a gaijin (foreigner) along with the practicalities of arriving
and settling in. Not surprisingly the two largest sections are on living
and working though the section In search of the real Japan is of great
use to all travellers.
