JET Program Vlog 6 - Your Self-Introduction (jikoshokai) pt1

This is part one (of two).
Sorry this one is so long it takes two videos to cover, but I really do think this is an important topic.

This vlog is very specific to JETs - obviously if you're coming to Japan to visit or work a non-teaching job, then this one really doesn't apply to you.

Don't think that you have to do your self-intro like mine or how I describe here - there are many, many ways you can introduce yourself. If you're coming on JET, my guess if you are a creative and outgoing person, so I'm sure you'll come up with a fantastic idea on how to do your self-intro.

My main point is to give it some thought BEFORE you leave your home country, where you have access to all kinds of cool things you can show the kids. Since language is not the emphasis (unless you teach at a high school), I think the more like "show and tell" you make your presentation, the better it will be received by your student audience.

Good luck!

haha, damn I'd have nothing to offer for an introduction. pretty pathetic man. I grew up in south jersey - not a damn thing to talk about. and I HATE anime/manga :P

starting to second guess my application to JET . . .

[myargonauts]

@risingsun08107 talk about your family, what you did when you were a student, your hobbies, etc. You don't have to make it long - my recent one for my college students was only about 15 minutes total.

Hmm so how many omiyage should we bring? And what makes a good omiyage exactly?

[myargonauts]

I think you've watched the other omiyage vlog by now - I hope it answered your questions

[mountaincritter]

Yeah--Shounen Jump! 'Course, I wonder if they would look down on a 25 year-old woman who liked shounen manga? Or think it was cool? I dunno....

[myargonauts]

definitely cool! :D

[Spazzosity]

[darkenedwolfpack]

[risingsun08107]

@myargonauts holy shit you replied fast

[BlanFan2O]

man the way things are goin' I hope this program is still around when I'm old enough to apply. by the way, how many years of college do you need to get you' BS or BA? and manga star wars? I didn't know they had that. also bleach is my fave show but I'm not into manga. that's cool I saw spirited away when I was little, not the whole thing though.
