On the STEP Eiken. Website (thanks for the tip, Mary! From June this year (ie the 2016-1 session of the STEP Eiken test) 5-kyu and 4-kyu will have a speaking test.

I’ve been doing a bit of research on this recently, and it’s been interesting and a bit discouraging 🙂. Or a multiple of net annual profit. 2-5 times seems possible).

19 Jul 2015, 8:07pm. US Teacher Wins ‘Nobel Prize Of Teaching’. I was lucky enough to be able to attend the Global Education and Skills Forum. In March this year, where the first Global Teacher Prize was awarded. One thing that struck me at the time is that of the 50 finalists. Not one was from Japan. Japan has a huge number of passionate educators who deserve recognition. I would love to see some of them in the finalists for the 2016 Global Teacher Prize.
