Getting Both Feet Wet: Experiences Inside The JET Program

Written By USJETAA

by David Chandler & David Kootnikoff

Book Synopsis:

The JET (Japan Exchange and Teaching) program employs thousands of young native English speakers to assist in teaching English and in cultural communications throughout Japan. Well paid, fun but often frustrating due to unfamiliar circumstances. Fourteen essays, seven by former JETs and seven by JTEs (Japanese teachers of English) help to explain the conflicts and their solutions. Read this before applying to become a JET, and then arrive prepared.
