Saho is keen to become a Japanese language teacher

After I have left the UOLC, I have to continue my university studies in
Japan. After I graduate from my university, I’ll get a job. I need a lot of money, because I’d like to study abroad in a foreign country. My dream is to be a Japanese language teacher for
foreigners. I have to learn about many things. I need some knowledge of the
education. It is so difficult how to teach Japanese for students. I am so
ashamed to say that I don’t know much about my country’s history, culture, people, language and so on. First I should learn about my country again. If I don’t do it, I won’t be able to explain about Japan. There is no specific qualification to be a Japanese teacher, but maybe I
’ll try to get some qualifications. For example, TOEIC, some language certificates and the teacher’s certificate. I have already got some qualifications, but it is not
enough. So far I have met some Japanese language teachers. Also I’ll visit a Japanese language teacher at the University of Otago. Then I’ll be able to ask about her job. It is such a good experience for me. Now I’m nineteen years old, so I have some opportunities of doing a lot of things!
