English to Go: Inside Japan's teaching sweatshops

By Craig Currie-Robson

For decades young westerners have flocked to Japan for a taste of the exotic, getting by as contract teachers in shady language schools. English to Go takes you inside the commercial teaching world to reveal an industry besieged by labor disputes, illegal contracts, draconian discipline and sexual harassment, tracking the stellar collapse of the largest chain of language centers to the rebirth of the industry as a low-wage, low-respect service. From the classroom to the courtroom and the boardroom to the bedroom, Brian Craig exposes the dark underbelly of an industry that has become closer to fast food than education. Would you like fries with that?
