How to Teach English In Japan
This website offers a lot of resources to individuals who are looking to teach English in Japan. The website was created by Kevin Burns who has been teaching English in Japan since 1991. The resources that this website offers range from information on living in Japan, to applying for teaching jobs, to of course suggestions on how to better teach English. The website has a large number of links to websites that have activities and games that are helpful to individuals who are teaching in Japan.
Games for Japanese High Schoolers
This link is to a page on the Teaching English in Asia website. This page is focused entirely on games that have been successful for Asian students in high school. While all teachers will agree that it is important to have games in classes in order to make it engaging, it can be daunting to figure out what game will be effective. This page has discussions for each game posted, so one can read the comments and decide if it is useful in their situation or not.
Minimal Pair listening practice
This website offers quizzes on minimal pairs. This can be a useful activity for teachers who want to help students improve their listening. The students will be able to control how many times they listen to a word before taking a quiz, so it allows the student to lower their own anxiety. The teacher could use this site to reinforce pronunciation lessons. Since Japanese students do not have any outside chances to speak English, this can be a helpful resource.
Cambridge Dictionary
This online Cambridge Dictionary is useful for learners because not only does it define words in simple terms, it also allows the user to listen to the pronunciation of the word. This can be used to introduce vocabulary outside of class, so that the students will feel prepared to hear the word in class in an activity.
