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.

Tue, 28 Jan 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences The Global Status of English in Daily Life The steadfast force of globalization challenges the structures of local groups, nation-states, and societies.

Tue, 14 Jan 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas What is The Future of Technology in The Classroom? Twenty years ago as an elementary school principal in a large inner-city school district, the staff and I took great pride in creating what we considered to be an exemplary high-technology school.

Fri, 18 Oct 2019 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Rapport With Students From Day 1 Establishing rapport with students can be challenging sometimes, especially if this is a class of students who've already had different teachers or the students change around a lot.
