The impact of TESOL teacher education on job satisfaction for native English speakers teaching English to speakers of other languages in Japan
Description
This study examined potential effects of teacher training or education in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages upon job satisfaction of ‘native English speaker’ teachers in Japan. While multiple regression analyses discovered only certain types of training showed a positive influence, the interview participants revealed how their existing skills were often not fully utilised in the Japanese context. The pedagogical implications and recommendations for teacher education are discussed, along with administrative implications and suggestions for the future recruitment of ‘native English speaker’ teachers in Japan.
