Teaching in Elementary + Junior High School

DON’T PANIC!

You are not T1. You’ve got time to settle in to your schools. e.g. self intros, sports day, enkai, etc. Get familiar with your textbooks, JTEs. Explore the various databases of resources. Talk to your JTE about your classes, what they’re like, etc. Finish your self-introduction, find out what tech / how much time you have.

LET’S ENJOY LESSON PLANNING

Most ES and JHS ALTs wont plan lessons. Often the JTE will let you know what they want to you do with what they’ve planned. You might be asked to prepare an activity or a worksheet (this may take up a class). If a JTE or HRT doesn’t ask you to do anything, look ahead in the textbook, make something, and leave it on their desk. There are heaps of resources out there.

WHEN EVERYTHING GOES WRONG

Always have a back-up. Fail to plan, plan to fail. One lesson that works with one class/school can crash with another. Know each class’ level and plan accordingly. Talk with your JTE about what went wrong and how you can fix it. Don’t worry! Fake it until you make it.

COMMUNICATING WITH YOUR JTEs + HRTs

Start off on the right foot! Your relationship with your JTE will often influence their expectations of you. A JTE that trusts you will give you more room to plan activities/lessons/do things. JTEs are busy - use all available time. Sometimes JTEs will just forgot to ask you plan anything or to take you to class. Being proactive helps prevent this.

QUESTIONS TO ASK

When should I arrive/leave? What should I prepare? What is today’s/the week’s schedule? Are there any changes to the schedule today/tomorrow/next week? Are there tests? Events? School trips? How can I print, laminate, use resources? Can I get the yearly ALT schedule?

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

You work with each grade’s HRT. You often have more freedom (if you want) 5th + 6th grade use Hi, Friends! Focus on speaking and listening exercises to build vocabulary and simple sentences You will probably teach 3 rd and 4 th grades occasionally. Lessons often based on a topic e.g: colors, fruits, numbers, etc. Much more scope to try new things and play games than in JHS. Have fun!

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL

English is required at all grades and students will have 3 classes each the week but you probably won’t go to all of them. Depending on the JTE, you will be everything from human tape recorder to planning whole lessons (rare). JTE might ask you to prepare activities for a grammar point, work sheet, or games. Keep an eye out for timetable changes!
