Teaching English in Japan

For ALTs in public schools and teachers at eikaiwa and juku: the staff room, planning with the JTE, classroom Japanese, tests and marking, school life, language-school customers and parents, and contracts.

If you teach English in a Japanese school or language school, much of your day happens in Japanese around the lessons: the morning meeting, a quick plan with the JTE, marking, lunch with a class, a parent at the front desk. This course gives you the words for those moments, plus the short plain Japanese teachers use to run a class. Best after Everyday Japanese 3 or 4.

Free to use. If these lessons help you, you can support new lessons on Patreon.

This course opens on 9 August 2027.
