		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been 6 months since I came home from Japan. It&#8217;s probably safe now to announce the semi-obvious: yes, I worked for NOVA. I didn&#8217;t have a pleasant time. This wasn&#8217;t because of the students, I might add. I had a great time getting to know them and befriending them, and I still keep in [...]]]></description>

hey there, first of all I&#8217;d just like to thank you for this wonderful website, you have certainly put up a lot of useful information about NOVA and teaching in Japan in general. My name is David, I am a student who lives in NZ and am interested in participating the NOVA program.I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Remember a while ago I interviewed Mark Beattie, whose software Easy Eikaiwa was designed to help minimalise the administration time of small conversation sachools by taking it to the web? Well, it&#8217;s now gone live.
The interface is non-branded (ie: your URL could be &#8220;bobsenglish.liveschedule.net&#8221; and can be changed from English to Japanese and back at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Summer in Japan is a dead time, as far as getting an English-teaching job is concerned. I&#8217;m not enirely sure why, but I guess it&#8217;s because many students disappear for their summer holidays. Some schools, like NOVA actually sell them travel packages and homestay trips, where they can practise their newly-acquired English skills in an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An Austraian by the name of Mark Beattie has recently been developing an online lesson reservation application. It uses the common ticket system that most eikaiwa have and it will go live in the near future. I asked Mark a few questions about his application, Easy Eikaiwa.

		<description><![CDATA[Gaba is another eikaiwa, which has tried to distinguish itself from the rest by offering only one-on-one (or, as they say, &#8216;man-to-man&#8217;) lessons and by integrating computer technology to the lessons. There is apparently a webpage for every lesson taught and students can access material and progress reports online.
Unfortunately, Gaba have also distinguished themselves amongst [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a lot to be said about NOVA. It is the largest of the Big Four eikaiwa and has probably around 50% of the language school market share. It can be seen everywhere: on television, newspapers, as sponsors for movies and other shows, plus hundreds of train posters. Because of it&#8217;s size, there are many [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wrote briefly about The Big Four eikaiwa a while ago, but now that I&#8217;ve been here for a while and I&#8217;ve talked to different teachers, it&#8217;s time to be a bit more in-depth. These aren&#8217;t going to be the be-all-and-end-all descriptions of eikaiwa but hopefully they&#8217;ll give you a bit more info.
