Description
This presentation summarizes the experiences of university students in a one-semester course aimed at preparing them as future Japanese teachers of English (JTEs) to work with Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs). This course, "Teaching English with ALTs," was created by the author in response to reports from students that ALT-related issues were not being addressed in their teacher-prep classes. Students' feedback on what they learned in the course will be of particular focus.
Summary
This presentation will feature the reported experiences of eight fourth-year university students, preparing for careers as English teachers in Japanese junior high schools, in a semester-long university course called "Teaching English with ALTs."
