Life as an ALT in Japan ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต || One year from start to finish

What can you expect from life as an Assistant Language Teacher in Japan? Let's take a look at what a year looks like for an ALT. I'll take you from your initial meeting with the schools, to daily ALT life, working with Japanese teachers, after school activities and lesson expectations to saying goodbye to your school. I've had four years of experience as an ALT in Nagoya, Japan and I want to share everything I learned and wish I knew going into it! Working as an assistant language teacher can be a rewarding experience! It's a neat way to get a front-row seat and experience life in Japan as a teacher in a public or private school. Not only will your Japanese improve, but you'll learn more customs and manners than you could ever learn from a textbook or movie! โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” TIME STAMPS Intro 0:00 ALT breakdown 0:30 Disclaimer 2:25 Leading up to the first day 2:50 The first day 4:09 School life 6:31 After school 7:46 The last day of school 9:13 Closing thoughts 12:13 โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” โ™กABOUT ME: Hey, Yโ€™all!
