Greetings, good citizens of Shiritori-land~ 'Tis your friendly mod Joji checking in to see how you're all doing~

First off, many thanks to xingphonic for stepping in to keep an eye out on Shiritori while I've been busy training to be an English as Foreign Language teacher

For obvious reasons, I am still participating.

Here, fellow citizens of Shiritori-land, have a picture of Yixing's midriff.

I just re-joined, so I'm still in. :3

[jojibear]

Excellent o/

[faded_lace]

I'm still in!

Also, may I ask where you're teaching English? As a fellow EFL teacher, I'm curious. ^^

[jojibear]

I've only just gotten my Trinity qualification so I don't actually have a teaching job right now ^^);; But I'm looking to go back to Asia to teach English - I'll be closer to my family, and also because I want to move back in the long term u_u

What about yourself? Any advice for a newbie like me? :O

[faded_lace]

Oh, that's cool :D Good luck with your training and moving!

I'm teaching in public school in Japan right now. ^^; My biggest piece of advice based on my experience just in Japan is to seriously be prepared for anything... here, one huge problem is that the kids are tested on material that's just plain wrong, but they have to learn it wrong to get into high school/college because it's wrong on the tests, for example. I think to be a successful EFL teacher you sort of have to be flexible to the system of the school/district/town/region/country you're located in and try to make the best of what you have to work with and engage the kids in a way that works in that setting. But Japan literally has the worst English ability level in all of Asia (except North Korea, because they don't have data from North Korea...) so my view is probably pretty skewed. XD;

Ooh~ I saw on Dave's EFL Cafe that Hess in Taiwan is hiring and my dad is all "Go to Japan like you wanted to~" but really I only wanted to go to Japan to teach because of JET. But now that I have my TEFL qualifications, I think I'd rather work closer to home for the time being?? IDK u_u Will see........
