Summary: A very practical resource - take it with you!
Comment: "Teaching English in Japan" is a very practical resource for those who wish to teach English in Japan. It is not an anecdotal book, and the writing style is more of what you would find in a textbook.

There is some excellent advice on obtaining visas, and a good introduction to the various types of English teacher positions available, from the informal "coffee shop school" to the more formal JET program. The book gives a brief glimpse of Japanese history and culture, but that is not a majority focus.

Fully half of "Teaching English in Japan" is focused on practical, specific English teaching skills. There is a good introduction to pronunciation mistakes common to Japanese learners, as well as a solid coverage of grammar and tenses that occur in English, but not Japanese. A chapter is devoted to creating lesson plans, and another chapter introduces various teaching styles and tools.

If you want to teach English, but have never done so before, this book will give you a good idea of what will be expected of you. Don't expect to memorize every lesson in the book. It is a valuable reference to pack along to Japan, and pull out again and again.
