A Day in the Life of an ALT on the JET (Japan Exchange and Teaching) Programme - TEFL Blog
Georgia Payne
Destinations TEFL Information Alumni Experiences
The unofficial motto of the JET Programme is 'every situation is different (ESID).' This is completely true, and every JET's day looks different depending on whether they work in a public or private school, whether they have co-JETs or are solo, their teaching partner's style, and the school's schedule. 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.
Wake up, get ready for school and commute to school 6:30 - 7:50
Home room: 8:10 - 8:30
Periods 1-4
Lunch time 12:30 - 13:10
Periods 5-7

How do I get a job teaching English in Japan? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ TEFL FAQs
To secure a position teaching English in Japan, a bachelor's degree and a TEFL certification with at least 120 hours are essential for obtaining a work visa. However, in certain circumstances, such as having a working holiday visa, student visa, spouse visa, or specific Japanese visas, teaching opportunities may still be accessible even without a degree.
Japan remains a prime choice for English educators, not only for its attractive salary packages but also for its unique blend of cutting-edge progress and rich historical traditions. If a blend of professional growth and cultural exploration is what you are after, Japan stands out as an ideal destination.
