University Teaching in Japan! – Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, Saitama, and Aichi

Recruitment for Spring 2022 – Overseas Candidates Welcome!
We are accepting applications for teaching positions on our programs from candidates who are either willing to come to Japan or are already in Japan!

***** UNIVERSITY PROGRAM *****
1) PROGRAM INFORMATION:
We are seeking highly motivated educators to teach English at universities in Japan. This unique opportunity is for bright teachers eager to enrich their teaching skills.

For the Spring 2022 term, lessons in the University program are set to be delivered face-to-face on campus. However, it is possible that the method of lesson delivery could be switched to online teaching or a combination of in-class and online lessons. There is even the possibility of instructors being asked to be present on campus to deliver online lessons.

A decision to change the method of lesson delivery could occur at any time, i.e., either before or after the start of the semester. Therefore, we are looking for applicants who are interested in teaching on campus in Japan, but who would be willing to switch to working remotely when required.

Instructors will need to use their own computers to work and teach during their employment with Westgate. Occasionally, they are required to bring their own laptop to the campus. In order for instructors to be able to work smoothly through Westgate’s IT system, the following hardware requirements would need to be met.

- CPU: Intel Core i5 or higher
- Memory: 8GB or higher
- Internet speed: 10Mbps or faster
- Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 - May 2021 Update [21H1] or newer; or Apple macOS Catalina 10.15 or newer
(Instructors who use another OS would need to check with us for confirmation about whether that OS is acceptable or not.)
- Browser: Microsoft Edge; Google Chrome 93 or newer; or Apple Safari 14.1 or newer
- Valid and active anti-virus software
- Web camera and microphone
- Adobe Acrobat Reader DC
* Instructors would also need to agree to install applications that are required by Westgate. If an applicant does not meet the requirements above, we may not be able to make a hiring decision.
