Could i be a primary school teacher in Japan?
We should discuss it from 2 aspects. 1, If you want to teach at primary school in Japan permanently, you need teacher certificate. To get teacher certificate in Japan, you need to go to university and take education major. But to join an university in Japan, you have to take its entrance exam and pass it. So you have to learn Japanese to university level. 2, Another way is to work as ALT, assistant language teacher, which is one of JET jobs although this is only temporary. http://www.jetprogramme.org/index.html The good news for you is that the beginning of English education in Japan will be lowered from current 7th grade to 5th grade in the next few years. So since our primary school is 1-6th grade, there will be more needs for English teachers or ALT at primary level.
