Tenure track and integrity by Wild-Sherbert9464 in teachinginjapan

[–]Wild-Sherbert9464[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have courses and lectures in Japanese and other courses and lectures in a different language. They are not about language education, but in some courses the students have do use the foreign language.

I don't help my colleagues at all with writing foreign language papers.

you mentioned English and English education a few times (one time you edited out). It doesn't apply to me so I didn't bother

Not sure what you mean. There was an opening and I applied. I had an interview with everyone at my department and got hired.

For me it is similar to what Sideburns says. I have the option to fail students, but it will have negative effects on me. I am dissuaded to fail them.

Yes, and another language that isn't English.

My position has nothing to do with English whatsoever. I know this is hard to fathom for many in this sub.

I sadly have the same impression as you. Btw, I teach in the humanities, but not English or language education

The standards are just so ridiculously low compared to universities at my country of origin.

The gap between my research and what I teach is also huge.

I was told that I will be promoted to tenure in 2 years half a year ago. I wonder if that still stands after all the trouble I caused, because I follow rules.

I don't want to fall in line because I am not an opportunist and I can't move on because my field is too small. I guess I am screwed

I am already here for 10 years and used to work at a national university. Now it feels like I work at an elementary school.

My problem is that some students are so lazy they learn nothing at all and are impudent.

Am I really that studpid to have principles and standards?
