  • Yes quite right, the job is clearly undefined so just rock up and learn bit by bit.

  • Another problem at JHS is alot of JTEs don't meet with you and talk about the lesson coming up.

  • Even more surprising are Japanese teachers of English who don't realise this. The JTE was baffled when I pronouced often with the t sound pronounced.

  • I find it interesting and somewhat funny how when people teach English in a place like Japan, people don't think about how there's so many different regional accents for English. When I was a freshman in college here in the USA, one of my friends from Japan said she studied English in high school, but it turned out her teacher was from Australia and she learned to pronounce her English words the way an Australian does, as opposed to the American English that I'm used to and expected.

  • Nothing against you at all but isn't it hard for the kids to hear through your accent?
