I Wouldn't Want Anybody to Know : Native English Teaching in Japan

While teaching English in Japan, some of the roles I feel I have been assigned include: kindergarden teacher; jail warden; prison guard; drill sargent; babysitter; parent; big brother; coach; entertainer; counselor; and therapist. But the one role that I often have trouble convincing myself that I am really performing is English instructor at a university. Thus are the attitudes expressed in the fifteen plus essays by a variety of expatriate university English teachers in Japan. Frustrating work, boring, unprofessional, unfulfilling except for a few memorable moments.Bueno, Eva P. is the author of 'I Wouldn't Want Anybody to Know : Native English Teaching in Japan', published 2003 under ISBN 9781933175010 and ISBN 193317501X.
