About
Hello everyone and thanks for visiting my site. I’m an ALT (Assistant Language Teacher) at a Monbusho Pilot School somewhere in Japan. Basically that means, I spend all day “teaching English” to elementary school kids. I use quotes because mostly I play games with kids all day. It’s very enjoyable work and most days it’s hard to believe that I’m getting paid for it.
This site was created as a resource for ALT’s in Japan who may be wondering what to actually do during class. You might be thinking, “I’m an ALT why should I have to be thinking of what to do?” Well as it turns out, even though you are the “assistant” often times most home room teachers, HRT’s, will look to you as what to do in the class. Hopefully with that in mind, this site will be useful.
Also if you want to get in touch with me you can send email to naruhodoeigo [at] gmail [dot] com. Of course you’ll need to remove the brackets and substitute the really symbols for the words ie @ v. at.
Thank you!
