==========================================================================
The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.
Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobnet.html.
This page has been set up so that people can report on the employment
standards of various countries.

week); participating in school/dorm events; supervising club activities;
advising students; participating in recruitment activities, as well as
school promotional events and programs; attending faculty meetings
Qualifications: Successful candidates will have a Master's in ESL or

teaching and learning is helpful.
Working Hours: While teachers are generally at school throughout the
business day, they enjoy academic freedom in their working hours.
Provided that teachers are able to keep up with their teaching and
other work, and they are willing to help with school functions as
needed, there are no set rules about the hours they are expected to be
at school.
Annual Salary: 3.3 million Yen ($27,500 at the exchange rate of $1.00 =

housing maintenance fee, and unemployment insurance, totaling about
50,000 Yen per month.
Housing Benefits: Free housing and telephone line (not free phone
calls) are provided for all IEP faculty members. (Note: In order to
allow for reconciliation of the bill prior to the employee's
departure, if the contract is not renewed, the phone line is cut off
on the 15th of the month prior to the employee's departure.)
Paid Vacation: 10 days, including sick leave.
Holidays: Most weekends, Japanese National Holidays, and holidays
designated by the Pacific School Entity. (Upon application, the school
calendar will be available for your review.)
Travel Allowance: a 150,000 Yen (approximately valued at $1,250) travel
allowance will be provided for travel to and from Japan. It is
reimbursed to the employee on the first paycheck. If the employee leaves
before the end of the contract period, the travel allowance must be
reimbursed to the employer and may be deducted from the final paycheck.
Application Deadline: Jan. 31, 2002 (Interviews will be held in Feb.
2002. The hiring decision will be made and the contract will be signed
by early Feb. 2002.)
