Best music production school?
Two things! :) 1) What is the best school for music production, worldwide (in your opinion)? 2) I would like to produce music in Japan. Do you think people who run the big music labels (Avex, Universal Music, EMI, etc.) would prefer me to go to a music production school in Japan? I personally think that they would find it different, interesting and cool if I went to a school in, say, Los Angeles. It's okay if you can't answer number two :D

Many foreign residents from English speaking countries now work in Japan, most as language instructors. The demand for native language instructors remains high, with a lot of major language schools now operating recruitment offices overseas. It is quite easy to find work teaching in Japan as there are many eikaiwa (conversation schools). The most famous being Nova, GEOS and AEON. I recommend teaching in Elementary or JHS with an ALT company as this is the most rewarding. The best site to look for employment in Japan is Gaijinpot. How much you can make depends on the type of job you take and the employer.

hey, Try this company : http://EduFinder.info They offer the largest database of universities and colleges. Hope that will help you
3 :
You can either go through a program or - for a slightly better salary - find your own job there by applying to those advertised online or contacting the schools directly. Your salary will be enough to live on reasonably well (accommodation, food, going out a bit).

To be honest teaching English is all foriegners can do. It is low paying and everybody is doing it so you will face stiff competition. I.T is where everything is at

Any possible help with post-secondary schooling in Japan
Any possible help with post-secondary schooling in Japan?
Hehe, I know it's a little cliche, and I know the possibility of anyone successfully helping me goes down since they don't know me, but I am not in high school yet, so I don't have access to a guidance counselor or similar. I dream of going to Japan, and I'm currently studying the language. My biggest dream is to go there for college or university, but I don't have much info to help me with this. I know going to a Japanese school would be hard, since even if I were to study the language for the four years I have until it's time, the classes would be hard to understand, right? What are some good options, some good schools for a foreign student like myself? And if it is in anyone's knowledge, would a career as something like a psychologist be valuable there? What are things I should look into, some websites that are easy for me to understand, or some preparations I should make? Any help is appreciated!

I would suggest going to a university in your home country that has an option to do a year abroad. If you go through them, you would have some support in adjusting and could continue your Japanese lessons to an advanced level before you go. Temple University has a Japanese campus, so you might want to look into that. If you apply directly to a Japanese university, I think you need level 2 on the JLPT which isn't impossible to do in four years but even then it's not easy. And then you still don't have the same academic background as the other students. If you go to a university in your home country you can still major in Japanese. If you want to work in Japan after university, that's an entirely different question. Going to school there will not get you a job there, especially without specialized skills or an advanced degree. Most people who go after college teach English, which is great to do for a year but not for life. It would probably be hard to be a psychologist in Japan because Japanese people may not believe you really understand their situation and there may be special requirements. For now, I would say just focus on learning the language and doing well in school.

Try going through some kind of student exchange program. I'm going abroad with AFS (afs.org), and its a great program that's easy to get into. However, it does cost money, for example a year with AFS costs about ten thousand dollars, but there is some scholarships, financial aid, and fund raising that you could look into. Also, a lot of programs require a student traveling to Japan to have studied formal Japanese for at least one year. Hope this helps :)

Rotary Youth Exchange is much cheaper than AFS and is also a good program. You will have to apply a year in advance though so contact your local Rotary club asap. http://www.rotary.org

What's a good speaking activity that can be done every class to increase fluency
What's a good speaking activity that can be done every class to increase fluency?
Hello, I'm an English teacher at a junior high school in Japan and am looking for good activities to increase my student's fluency. I would like to find something easy that I could do for at least 15-20 minutes per class, every class. One of those fun yet beneficial activities that coerce the kids into learning, since they have no attention span. I'd be more than glad to hear about any other ideas, experiences or advice you have to share. Thank you

I think your students know some English phrases they heard from TV or movies, and also they have imitated those at least once. They would like to speak movie star's lines rather than only read a textbook. For example, "Yes, we can". "I'll be back". How about showing them some famous scenes of the movies they have watched and letting them imitate those?
2 :
Maybe this is an old fashioned way but when I was in the English class in a Junior high, the teacher made small groups, arrange the desks, and no Japanese language allowed for a period of the time. If we don't know the word, we have to gesture so other students can guess what he is trying to say IN ENGLISH. It was really fun for me, since I was good in English, I had some advantage of the game. lol. You can create some kind of reward system too. Anyway, I wish you a good luck!
