This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Anh N. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT.

Self-study allows training not only in the classroom but also outside the school. Traditionally, learners are mentored by their teachers and parents. When going to college, their...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Education is the key to everything good in the world. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, “education is the process of teaching or learning.” This process of teaching and learning should not only be at school, college or university.

Their role in the education of their children is very important from the onset because they are the foundation of learning for their children. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Melissa W. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT.

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Formal English education first took root in Japan with the creation of the first English schools in 1865 and has since steamrolled into an aggressive effort by the government to produce an English-proficient population. The Japan Exchange and Teaching Program (JET) was established to introduce native speakers into English classrooms, and English instruction continues to become mandatory for increasingly younger students in primary schools. Despite these efforts, an English Proficiency Index conducted by the organization English First gave Japan a “low proficiency” score, with the island country lagging not just the multicultural countries of Singapore and Malaysia but also its East Asian neighbors China and South Korea. To explain this disparity...  [Read more]

Yet despite spending several hours in English classes, many Japanese people graduate high school with poor English communication skills.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas “Children learn as they play. Most importantly, in play, children learn how to learn.” O. Fred Donaldson (Pulitzer nominated author, and renowned play researcher).

Nowadays, schools always include a variety of activities in their curriculum and adding school events on their school calendar, as they see it as one way of learning. Teachers...  [Read more]

I teach in a private junior and senior high school in central Tokyo, where students are aged 12-18. The following is my own experience, but every ALT’s (assistant language teacher) experience on the JET Programme is vastly different. In Tokyo, almost everyone commutes via train, and depending on where you live, your commute could take any length of time, although most JETs try to live fairly close to their school....  [Read more]
