Status: Full Time

Summary: WorldTeach, a non-profit organization founded through Harvard University, is currently accepting applications for passionate individuals to serve as volunteer English teachers in our yearlong, fully funded programs in the Pacific Island of American Samoa. Applications will be accepted until October 15th, 2015 and volunteers will depart approximately at the beginning of January 2016.

Volunteers are full time English teachers in public high schools. While volunteers share their skills and knowledge with their students and communities, they also gain cultural understanding, foreign language skills, develop leadership experience, and learn how to be more adaptable and resourceful. The American Samoa Department of Education has sought out WorldTeach volunteers because there is a lack of licensed English teachers in American Samoa.

With 23 programs in 16 different countries, including year, semester, and summer programs, there are plenty of options to find a program that fits your skills and interests. WorldTeach offers excellent professional development and has more than 25 years of experience successfully preparing, training, placing, and supporting volunteers around the world. Funded and partially funded programs are available for yearlong and semester programs.

Our current yearlong programs are in American Samoa, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guyana, Marshall Islands, Micronesia (Pohnpei, Kosrae and Chuuk), Namibia, Tanzania, and Thailand. We also have semester programs in Namibia and Ecuador, and summer programs in China, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Morocco, Namibia, Nepal, Poland and South Africa.

The American Samoa program is funded by their Department of Education, including round-trip international airfare from a designated U.S. departure city.

Position: English Instructor/Branch Manager
Posted By: Jabble
Location: Chiba and Tokyo, Japan
Status: Full Time

Summary: We are looking for ONE teacher for immediate start. At Jabble, we are trying to make a new style of English school. Our goal is to create a school where service and quality come first, where the focus on our students is genuine, while also providing the service and professional benefits of larger schools. Our schools have a small, at-home atmosphere, and our teachers know all of our students by name. Employing teachers that care about their standard of work is of utmost importance to us. We are NOT looking for applicants that are just looking for a paycheck. We are looking for well-rounded individuals that genuinely care about their students, their coworkers, and the company they work for. We pride ourselves on the care and real improvement of our students, something that only happens when we work together as a team.

We are looking for candidates that want to work toward the overall success of the school; someone that enjoys helping people, is motivated to succeed, and wants to make a better career for themselves in Japan. A lot of English schools hire just the minimum, but we are not looking for that teacher.

Our students are adults that take 45-minute man-to-man lessons or group lessons with a maximum class size of 4 students. We also have school functions (semi-regular drinking parties, hanami parties, Christmas parties, etc.) that are a great opportunity for our students to speak English outside the classroom. Teachers are expected to attend these events and must maintain a professional relationship with the students.

Position: Mansfield Fellow
Posted By: The Maureen and Mike Mansfield Foundation
Location: Japan
Status: Full Time, 1-Year

Summary: The Mansfield Fellowship Program is now recruiting for next year’s Fellows to live and work in Japan. If you work in the federal government and have an interest in Japan, this program is for you!

The Mansfield Fellowship Program—named after Mike Mansfield, former U.S. ambassador to Japan, U.S. Senate majority leader, and U.S. congressman from Montana—is a first-of-its-kind program for the United States and Japan.

The Mansfield Fellowship Program has been restructured for the upcoming year to allow ten Fellows to participate in a one-year program in Japan. The shorter program duration is expected to increase the number of Fellows who are able to participate and preserves the principles behind the program and the features that make it a unique professional career development opportunity for U.S. federal government employees. Please click here to see more detailed information in the Mansfield Fellowship Program brochure.

The restructured Mansfield Fellowship Program includes a seven-week homestay and intensive Japanese language program in Ishikawa Prefecture and ten months of professional placements in Tokyo. During the year in Japan, Fellows will develop an in-depth understanding of the Government of Japan (GOJ) and its policymaking process and establish relationships with their counterparts in GOJ and the business, professional and academic communities. After completing the program, the Fellows are required to serve at least two additional years in the federal government, where it is anticipated they will continue to work on projects involving Japan issues.

The Mansfield Fellowship Program is administered by the Maureen and Mike Mansfield Foundation, with the United States Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, as grantor. The program receives significant in-kind support from the government of Japan and the Ishikawa Prefectural Government. Additional support comes from corporate sponsors and foundations.
