Assistant Language Teacher Position with Japan Visualmedia Translation Academy (JVTA)

The following job opportunity was shared with us by an alumni:

Anyone looking or know someone looking for a decent private ALT position? The JVTA is a reputable company seeking an ALT for the 2024 school year. I worked with them for several years as they setup their state side school and have only had positive interactions with them. If you're interested please read the info below and contact them via email.

POSITION:

We are currently looking for Assistant Language Teacher (ALT) candidates who can work at schools in Japan from April 2024.

An ALT is a foreign national serving as an assistant teacher in classrooms in Japan, particularly for English. The term was created by the Japanese Ministry of Education at the time the Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme (JET) was introduced.

Qualifications

- Must have interest in Japan and teaching English to Japanese students.

- Applicants must have at least a bachelor's degree, in any subject, by the time of visa application. This is a minimum requirement for visa sponsorship.

- Must be a native or near-native speaker of English. If an applicant is a non-US citizen or from a country that does not use English as a first language, and/or their native language is not English, they must have at least 12 years proof of being educated fully in English.

- Teaching credential, experience, or a certificate in teaching English such as TEFL or TESOL is preferred.

- Conversational Japanese language ability is desired.

- Must own a computer (a smartphone or tablet is not sufficient) and have basic Microsoft Office and Google application skills (Docs, Forms, etc.)

- Must be financially stable. A successful applicant is expected to be in possession of 350,000 yen or more to cover the initial cost of apartment renting and daily expenses until the first payday arrives at the end of the following month once employment starts.

- Successful applicants will be mature adults, as an ALT will be required to deal with students from elementary school to high school as well as teachers, parents, and authorities such as the boards of education.

- Must have the ability to adapt to living and working conditions in Japan and obey all Japanese laws and regulations.

About the Job

- An ALT will work at elementary, junior high, and/or high schools in Japan. Many boards of education assign one ALT to more than one school and often at different levels, e.g., at an elementary school and a junior high school.

- Duties

An ALT’s main duty is to assist Japanese teachers to teach English to students. Duties as an ALT vary depending on the school and the board of education but typically include the following: assisting Japanese teachers in classrooms; interacting with students in classrooms; assisting Japanese teachers to create lesson plans, class materials, and tests, as well as grading tests; assisting in various activities and events including extracurricular/club activities, foreign language speech contests, etc. Sometimes schools or boards of education may ask ALTs for assistance in tasks such as translation, proofreading, editing, or participating in local events/activities.

- Location:

All across the Kyushu region and Yamaguchi Prefecture

- Contract Duration: April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025 (Renewable on a yearly basis)
