A Day in the Life of an ALT on the JET (Japan Exchange and Teaching) Programme - TEFL Blog

Destinations TEFL Information Alumni Experiences

This is completely true, and every JET's day looks different depending on whether they work in a public or private school, whether they have co-JETs or are solo, their teaching partner's style, and the school's schedule. 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.Table of Contents
