If you were trying to explain a concept in English to your Japanese students, but they couldn't understand, how would you make them understand without speaking Japanese?
Language Teacher Interview Questions
1,272 language teacher interview questions shared by candidates
Why do you want to teach English in Japan?
Why are you interested in the JET Program?
What makes you a good fit?
Would you be willing to cut your hair? (Yes, this is a real question that was asked, mainly applies to men.)
How do you handle being alone?
General questions about my application - why I chose particular locations etc.
- How would you feel if you were given a placement in the North of Japan (As I put South on Placements) - What would you say to a child who tells you "I don't need to use English!" - What lesson idea would you teach in class? - Do you prefer countryside/ city? They will ask you about your school teaching methods, raise scenarios in which children will challenge you, and ask you how you will be able to cope if your placement ends up becoming a disappointment (this is a very real problem in JET in which one may end up in an unsatisfying school or area).
Normal job interview questions and a couple of easy of questions in Japanese like "What type of University did you go to?" Nothing too difficult
What would you do if your teacher did not want to utilize you and you just sat in the back of the classroom all the time?
