Of all the areas of the world that seek ESL instruction, the demand is higher in Asia than anywhere else. As one of the world leaders in international trade, the ability to speak conversational English is very important to Japanese businessmen and citizens in general. English instruction is so popular there that they actually have something called "conversation lounges" where Japanese citizens pay to speak with native English speakers. Japan is a popular choice for English teachers that are looking for a professional working environment, rich culture and deep history. English teachers with TESOL or TEFL certificates and also holding the bachelor degree remain in high demand. Salaries remain some the highest in Asia with peak hiring times from January through April.
