This week I’m training for my new job–Assistant Language Teacher or ALT. It can vary greatly from grade to grade and school to school, but basically I’ll be teaching English with the help of a native Japanese teacher. I’m slated to work in elementary schools but don’t know any particulars beyond that yet.
Training is a little bit of everything, from paperwork to “cultural sensitivity”. We get chances to give parts of lessons in front of everyone which is good. The days feel long and I get home exhausted but I’m learning a lot.
Odd thing–in our group of about 50 there’s a girl that grew up maybe 15 minutes away from me. The odds of that happening must be really slim, especially when we’re from little ol’ Upstate NY. I told her my hometown and she asked, “Do you know Dennis?”. Just like that, no last name or anything. And you know what?
I did.
Scary.
