If you work as the atl position for the jets program in japan, what would your eveyday duties be?

Question:




Answer:


It's just JET, not jets.

Your duties vary depending on your school, and the general mantra of JET Program participants is "every situation is different." You may only have one school to work at or you may be expected to visit several. You may find yourself planning lots of lessons and activities or you may find yourself being a human tape recorder (i.e. you read the textbook, students parrot back, wash rinse and repeat...). You may or may not be asked to help out with things like grading student work and preparing for speech contests. You may or may not be asked to do special tasks like creating teaching and learning materials for the school.

I usually had a mix of tasks that often involved planning lessons, making games and worksheets for classes, making posters for the English room, grading tests and homework, helping with speeches, reading from the textbook, doing skits with the teachers to demonstrate grammar points or new vocabulary, and helping out with daily tasks like cleaning and serving lunch in the staff room.
