english teaching

In this episode, Teacher Zdenek (an English teacher from the Czech Republic) and I answer other English teachers' questions about creating English language courses for learners of English. We talk about how to grow on social media, find time to create content when you already have a busy scheule as well as how to start doing extra teaching and course creation on the side.

We continue looking at conditionals in a business context. Today we touch on the 1st conditional (or future conditional) whatever you prefer! 

This is a structure that you might potentially have to use if you are working in English  on big project teams, making decisions based on realistic situations. 

I give you some real examples in context with a situation that is very current to what is going on in the world of business today.

Enjoy!

Japan imports a variety of essentials for modern living, including native English speakers to teach them the language. Some actually arrive into Narita or Haneda Airport with the proper credentials for the job, while others may only be searching for a unique adventure in a foreign land for one or two years.  What are the realities that they all end up facing on the job, and what drew Jon and our podcast hosts into staying in Japan, specifically Sapporo, for much longer than they originally intended? Listen now for a very entertaining take on the notorious career of English teaching in Japan!
