I'm in my senior year of high school and am currently looking at colleges in Japan.

I'm in my senior year of high school and am currently looking at colleges in Japan.?
The only problem is I would like to major in English and minor in Japanese in hopes of becoming an English teacher in Japan. But all the colleges I looked at don't offer English as a major or don't offer a teaching license. Are there any colleges I over looked? And please don't suggest any colleges outside of Japan. Thank you!

Hi there, I'm assuming you are an American and/or graduating from a high school in the US. I do not have experience in attending colleges in Japan, but I work with many Japanese elementary and middle school teachers. At what level do you wish to teach English? If you want to teach at the high school and middle school level, you will need a degree from a 4-year university, 'gakushi' aka Bachelor's, preferably in the subject you want to teach (English). To obtain your teaching license, you will need to take exams after you get the gakushi. I am not sure how it works for foreigners, but the English teachers here take a prefectural licensing exam which involves a written test, interviews, and giving an example lecture/class. If you want to teach at the university level, you will need to have an advanced degree in addition to your Bachelors, such as a Masters (shuushi) or Ph.D (hakase). Most Japanese colleges offer English as a major. Note this is English geared toward native Japanese speakers, so it won't have the literary or stylistic focus that English degrees from colleges in the States would give you. What colleges/universities have you been looking at? If you are bent on going to a college in Japan, I would suggest the prefectural university in the prefecture that you want to teach, as you have to get your teaching license from the prefecture as well. I don't know what the cost of attendance is for foreigners, but I would imagine it's quite high.

Japanese are usually very conservative and respectful. If you are asking about what to do with a buddhist girl, I'd say respect her religion and you could start conversation with her with her religion as a topic. Sorry, your question isn't very clear. Neither is your spelling!
