English-Teaching in Japan: Confronting Unfair Hiring Practices

from The Kaiwa Podcast · host The Kaiwa Podcast

We put out our final episode earlier this week but we bet you didn’t think we would leave you without a bonus episode. In this episode, we talk to returning guest Maria about discriminatory experiences she has had during the application process for English-teaching part-time(arubaito) positions. Here in Japan, many English language schools require native English nationality as a point of eligibility for a part-time applicant to apply for the position. This is a problem. Host Dorcas and Maria share their thoughts on why this is a problem and where it may have originated from. Maria also drops some gems for non-native English students and others to find opportunities despite the barriers that may exist. Do listen for more! Thank you for staying with us throughout season 2. See you again next season, when more exciting stuff shall unravel. 今週初めに最後のエピソードを公開しましたが、なんとボーナスエピソードがリリースされました!このエピソードでは、ゲストのマリアに、英語教育のアルバイトに応募をする際に彼女が経験した差別的な経験について話しています。ここ日本では、多くの英語学校がアルバイトの応募資格としてネイティブのイングリッシュスピーカーを要求しています。私たちはそれを問題だと捉えました。ホストのDorcasとMariaは、なぜこれが問題であるのか、そしてそれがなぜそうなったのかについての考えを共有しています。ぜひ聞いてみてください! シーズン2をサポートしていただき、ありがとうございました。次のシーズン、まだまだワクワクするようなエピソードを作っていきます。お楽しみに!またお会いしましょう。 Get in touch with us on Instagram or via [email protected] Read our episodes summaries in English and Japanese on Note Maria’s Contact: Maria Elizabeth Thomas                           6th semester (3rd year) @APU                           Instagram mariaandhercamera                           (Freelance photographer, daughter and average student)
