専門学校 東京国際ビジネスカレッジ

The students are okay.mostly from China and Vietnam. Some students are at the school as a consequence of not getting into a school at an English speaking country. Some are there specifically because of Japanese law which allows students to work 28 (or is it 29) hours per week as a part-timer — making more than they could in their home country. But some students are VERY bright.enough to teach the average teacher a thing or two.

That being said, as an institution, the 'school' is just another 'for-profit' business taking opportunistic advantage of the opening market for foreigners looking for a way to work in Japan.

For how it helps migrant workers achieve their short term goals.it does okay. But in the short time I worked there, I quickly saw students, again mostly from Vietnam and China, who were justifiably jaded by the low quality of the classroom instruction — and visibly showed regret at having made the decision to go to a Japanese 'college' or work in Japan.

With my 36 years experience teaching in Japanese and American colleges, a graduate degree, formerly tenured, and with original publications and research.being hired as a substitute for English teachers could have led to advantages for the students and the school.but it soon became clear that the administration has no interest in either student satisfaction nor educational ideals.

With an exception or two, the regular English teachers I met there were foreigners hired through a very slip-shod, for-profit out-sourcing company, and neither qualified nor motivated to do much more than keep the kids entertained. And there is a high turn-over rate of Japanese teachers as well, but the job market for education is so strapped for students and Japan is so saturated with would-be teachers, that dissent is effectively controlled with fear of job security.

To be fair, America has its share of 'institutionalized' educational scams, and this is no different. Very little, if any, oversight, regulation, or academic freedom.
