In partnership with Kyushu Gaigo College, GenkiJACS will offer a Japanese teacher training course from January 2011! We’re very excited about this. Most teacher training courses focus on teaching to Asian students, but ours will of course focus on the needs of Western students. As we saw previously, the number of Japanese schools worldwide is always increasing, so Japanese language teachers are always needed. But why does this matter to you, the possible Japanese school student? Well:
– While we only employ qualified teachers for your Japanese classes, we regularly have volunteers visit the school for free conversation practice with students. Trainee teachers will participate in these conversation practices
– Trainee teachers will also run free extra classes for students on a variety of topics, as part of their training. This means more classes for you, for free!
– The best of the trainee teachers will stay on at GenkiJACS after graduating, as qualified teachers. This means the level of teachers at GenkiJACS will keep on improving!
This teacher training program is offered as part of the Japanese government’s work training opportunities for unemployed people, part of the stimulus package to help Japan out of the recession. Only people approved by Hello Work, the Japanese Employment Service Center, are eligible to take the course. More details are in the leaflet here.
