#alt teaching

((Hi! Yes I did! I lived in Japan from spring ‘16 to spring '17. I was there teaching English in elementary schools, which I had wanted to do for a long time both to try out teaching and also to experience living in a culture I have loved for a very long time! I will actually be going back to Japan VERY soon with my new job! Super excited to be back, I’ve missed it a lot!))

If you use one of my products, leave a review! If you have suggestions for more EFL items, let me know!

((OOC: Wow. This is next level excitement *pets u* - I am currently blissfully unemployed and spending all my money on food. - I was working a pretty dull job in finance (although the people were super nice) and now am in the middle of applications to go back to university (and jobs applications for when I go home)- I was in Japan because I love Japan and wanted to experience living and working there, instead of just travelling- I was teaching English to elementary school kids- If you have a degree you can also do this fairly easily either as an ALT (what I did) or teaching at an eikaiwa. You don’t absolutely need a TEFL qualification, but if you want to teach at an eikaiwa I would recommend it- I didn’t learn Japanese fluently but it was easier where I was living (Nagoya) because it’s not a tourist city so people there didn’t speak much English - so I got to practice more- The reasons behind written Japanese continue to baffle me ))

Here are some bilingual English/Japanese months of the year display cards. I hope they make teaching easier!

This pack is fabulous for yearly Halloween lessons! I included a lot of things for display as well as activities for the children. Enjoy!

This freebie is great for “What time do you ___?” lessons! Enjoy!

I used this every year as an end of the year activity. It was a great way to teach them about American culture and let them create memories as a class together. Enjoy!

I LOVE this game. I made this to help my students review English while having lots of fun! I included many different pages for different types of lessons as well as blank ones for you to make your own! I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!
