Japanese Teacher Resume

Teaching a language is an art and it takes sheer dedication to learn any language. You might probably think that it is an easy task, but you must know that people spend their entire lives studying the language and still it's never enough. Language is not a scientific theorem that can be proved with some mathematical formulae, but it is an ever evolving process.

You may think that you are good at speaking your mother tongue, but that may not be true at all! A language is not just about communicating with people; literature, phonetics, pronunciation, and many other factors revolve around it. Moreover, do you know how your native language originated? Selected people are gifted with the ability of being a polyglot. If you consider yourself as one of them then you can definitely consider teaching as your career in this field. However, the condition is that you should be interested in sharing your knowledge at the first place.

You can go through the sample of Japanese teacher resume given here. Japanese, just as Chinese, is considered as one of the most difficult languages to learn. Japanese language makes use of logograms and many people find it difficult to learn that because of their absolutely different structure as compared to the English alphabets.

For your help, a sample of Japanese teacher resume has been provided here. Your interest for learning the language and teaching it must be indicated in the resume. Mention the points that prove that you have an expertise in the language. If you have prior experience in the teaching profession, be it full time or part time, it will always help you. A master's degree or Ph.D is an add on. At last, after all, it is your command over the language that matters!

So, practice regularly and always be ready to learn new things, as you know there is nothing called as – an end to the language studies! One more thing, a language teacher should keep in mind that the pronunciations should be correct and in no way should it be accented in your native language (if your native is not Japanese, of course!).
