Are you a JET alum or Japanese language enthusiast interested in teaching Japanese?

Join us for a 90-minute session that brings together a panel of educators, including JET alumni teaching at the high school and university levels, as well as experts from Middlebury Language Schools and the American Association of Teachers of Japanese (AATJ).

Explore pathways into Japanese language education, from credentialing and certification to navigating careers in K-12 and higher education. Our panelists will share their experiences, guidance, and discuss resources and pathways to help you get started. The format will include informative presentations, a panel discussion and space to ask questions and virtually network with our presenters and fellow participants. If you're exploring or considering teaching Japanese here in the US, this session is for you!
