Abstract:

This study examines the experiences, challenges, and contributions of Filipino Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs) in Japan's educational system. Employing a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from seven Filipino ALTs across different Japanese prefectures through questionnaires and narrative accounts. Findings reveal that Filipino ALTs navigate complex cultural territories while developing hybridized professional identities that bridge Filipino and Japanese educational paradigms. They integrate distinctive pedagogical approaches from Philippine educational practices, including interact

Abstract:

A feature of the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Program, which aims to internationalize Japan and to improve the English-speaking ability of its students, is the hiring of Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs) who are described by the Japanese government as native-level speakers of English working in Japanese classrooms. By using critical applied linguistic which focuses on questions of power, difference, access and domination in the use of the English language (Pennycook, 2001), this paper examines the motivations of the Filipino teachers as ALTs, the processes of international teacher recrui

Abstract:

Even with their qualifications, Filipino ALTs (Assistant Language Teachers) face some unique and intense challenges tied to race, linguistic legitimacy, and social acceptance within Japanese schools and society at large. To substantiate that claim, this study, using a qualitative design and a narrative inquiry method, explored the life and work in Japan of one Filipino ALT based in Osaka under a private dispatched company in partnership with a recruitment agency in the Philippines. It investigated how the participant navigated cultural transitions, role ambiguity, identity formation, and profe

Abstract:

This study examines the experiences of Filipino Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs) in Japanese classrooms, focusing on their interactions with students and Japanese Teachers of English (JTEs). Using a qualitative descriptive phenomenological approach, the research identifies common language errors among Japanese students, analyzes the collaborative dynamics between ALTs and JTEs, and explores the pedagogical interventions employed to enhance English instruction. Findings reveal persistent grammar, writing, speaking, and spelling challenges despite Japan’s continued emphasis on English ed

Abstract:

This paper focused on the teaching experiences of Filipino English teachers in Japan. It aimed to find out how the Filipino teachers position themselves and establish their own identities as teachers of English as a foreign language. The first research question sought to find out the roles and responsibilities the Filipino English teachers have in the school. The second question wanted to know the achievements and successes that they have had as teachers in Japan. The third question wanted to find out the challenges that the Filipino English teachers have encountered and how they overcame them

Abstract:

As of 2020, foreign language as a subject has become compulsory for upper grades in Japanese elementary schools, and MEXT recommends the use of assistant language teachers (ALTs) in foreign language classes. While ALTs represent diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds, MEXT documents for Japanese teachers portray them as homogenous monolingual native speakers of English. To better understand the linguistic repertoires of ALTs, this study investigates the languages ALTs know. The findings suggest that, contrary to MEXT portrayals, most ALTs have ability in at least one language other than E

Abstract:

For both political and social reasons, the learning of English as a Foreign Language in Japanese secondary schools has become the focus of a variety of new educational policies applied at a national level. The backdrop of this article is the JET program, which in 1998 employed 5,361 assistant language teachers (ALTs) from various countries for the purpose of team teaching in Japanese junior and senior high school foreign language classrooms. The article focuses on Japanese teachers of English (JTEs) and their responses to team teaching with ALTs, particularly in terms of JTEs' perceptions of t

Abstract:

The purpose of this hermeneutic phenomenological study was to describe and interpret the lived experiences of Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs) in Japan as they faced some challenges with language barriers. There is still a gap that needs to be addressed because little did these foreign English teachers know that teaching English in a non-native English-speaking country like Japan comes with a lot of challenges especially with the language barrier. The theories that guided this study were Krashen’s (1981) Monolingual Approach and Bandura’s (1997) Social Cognitive Theory. The central questions

This study explored the preservice training programs of Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs) in Japan, analyzing their content, identifying gaps and overlooked essential topics, and proposing enhancements to equip ALTs for their roles better. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining survey data analyzed through descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. Findings revealed that training emphasized foundational topics such as Introduction to English Education and Team Teaching, highlighting the need for understanding Japan's education system and collaborative teaching roles.

Abstract:

Previous research on Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs) continues to expand since Japan embarked on the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Programme in 1987. However, few studies have explored ALTs and Japanese Teachers of English (JTEs) teaching practices and their impact upon student English language outcomes at the prefectural level. Through the findings of a questionnaire administered to 33 ALTs and 22 JTEs in Shizuoka, it was identified that traditional grammar translation methods continue to persist within the Japanese English language classroom; however, there are efforts to integrate Co

This study investigates consequences of hiring native English speakers, many of whom are untrained as teachers, to teach English in foreign language contexts. The focus is on Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs) on the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Programme. Two discourses, nihonjinron (theories of Japanese distinctiveness) and kokusaika (internationalisation), upon which the programme is founded, provide the framework for analysis. Through surveys and interviews, ALTs' attitudes towards the global spread of English and models of English teaching are elicited. Participants were 120 ALT alum

Abstract:

With the expansion of English teaching in compulsory education in Japan, as well as changes to the labour law and shifts in public opinion on who should teach English, there has been a sharp increase over the past decade in the number of Filipinos working as English teachers and Assistant English Teachers (ALTs). There has been little research on this group of teachers, but the studies that have been conducted raise questions about the continued prevalence of racialized native-speakerism affecting Filipinos who teach English in Japan. This chapter addresses this issue by shedding light on the

Abstract:

This chapter presents a narrative inquiry on Lesson Study (LS), based on the experience of three assistant language teachers (ALTs) in Japan. The author also draws on personal experience with LS, having been an ALT for three years and faculty at universities for over 20. The literature on LS is very positive and persuasive, but the narratives deflate some of the idealism around LS. A conclusion is drawn that LS can be very beneficial, but that in practice, it is not without flaws. Furthermore, as a global phenomenon, it is no longer owned by Japan.
