Ohhh... now I've actually read the whole thing xD Good luck for that next part o.o Hmmmm is there a specified age group you know you'll be teaching or is it not confirmed yet?

But that might be different for Japan, I dunno (like they may tend to be more professional in the classroom etcetc) Aaahhh at any rate- I hope you get in!

Yeah most of the students consist of younger kids so BLAH!! I'd rather teach adults and teenagers. But luckily I just spoke to my cousin and he'll write the lesson plan for me! haha He teaches 3rd grade, which are like 8 year olds I think. Wish me luck =/!!

Is it gonna be a presentation to an actual class of kids or is it just something you do towards the panel of interviewers? :0 It'd be so hard if it was for actual kids ... o.o

Well first I had to get invited to the meeting and group interview based on resume and application. The lesson-plan I create is demonstrated in front of this group that was selected as candidates. I present it to them. They want it 30 minutes but actually they will only see five minutes of it. Most of their students are young children so I get to choose a certain grade level that I create my lesson plan around. See? I am nervous.
