Super agree ako doon sa Filipinos speak more clearly. One of my JTEs keep on saying that to me! 😂 Kaya it’s important na we maintain a neutral accent when we speak. Pero minsan lumalabas at lumalabas talaga Pinoy accent ko. Hahaha but I think it’s still easy for them to understand what we say even with our accent. Nice vlog, senpai! Hoping I won’t receive those complaints. 😂

Almost all these conplaints have an opposite. My JTE complained to me that i make his life difficult because i teach in one of his classes while he teaches with a direct hire in the other, and i have too many activities and the like (which i give him the materials for to use as he pleases) which makes it hard for him becaude then he has to plan the other class to keep up, and he lamented that thr JETs in his school before, where he was the JET tantou sensei, would just stay in the teachers room and play on their computers and instead interact with the kids after scool and he thought that was better :-) My sin? I taught the students hoe to read and pronounce sounds in english using IPA, and hoe to read with rhythm and intonation to enhance their learning experience. But according to him, i interfere too much. I make them shadow and teach aloud together insteadof making them repeat after me. I make them write and present their own ideas in groups instead of memorizing the definitions of individual vocabulary. Etc etc. Meanwhile, in the same grade year, my other JTEs fully expect me to have a skill building activity planned for at least 50% of the classes. What ive found is that male teachers specifically seem to have a problem with me, as though they feel emasculated.

I think alot of the issues here is that jet makes it more of a cultural exchange vs a job, which I think is also why jet is ok with the low pay compared to the countries they get the most applications from (us, uk, ect). Yeah, they may want english first applicants but the whole year with out good enough pay leads to this. And honestly, japan is not advance enough in english to have issues in hiring from places like your country, ect. Infact, because you had to learn english formally as a 2nd langauge, you might end up with better english (hence the no slang part)

Thank you so much for this sir Jose ! 🥰🥰😘

Na enjoy ko manuod Sensei. Hehe Miski ako hnd di ko din maintindihan ang english ng Native na super slang kahit nakakaintindi ako ng english pano pa kaya ang mga bata na beginner palang tlga 😅

Hello Sir Joey, I hope mabasa nyo po ito. Nilagay ko po kase saking SOP na isa kayo sa nag inspire saken mag Japan, kaya okay lng po ba malaman ang schools, prefectures, complete names, assigned levels sa mga ss na mga ALTs: 1. Joey Sensei 2. T. Macs 3. Donna 4. Ziggy Pinaghandaan ko po kase na matanong ako sino2x ang mga ALTs na nkpg inspire saken. Kaya need ko po info niyo at sa iba baka alam nyo rin po. Para di ako nga nga sa interview haha Salamat.😊

I think Filipino teachers of english have unique weaknesses and strengths compared to their native counterparts. Whilst pronunciation and advanced vocab knowledge may not match a native speaker I feel that having learnt the language makes them better teachers of grammar, native speakers tend to understand grammar more intuitively rather than in a structural way which isn't as good for teaching. I find it weird that some schools discriminate (maybe in the case of a school focusing on pronunciation I'd understand) but generally I feel like filipinos make great english teachers.

dito sa amin macomplain talaga mga alts here, toxic dn kasama minsan kaya mas mabuti magsolo minsan hehe puro sila this is not on my contract, this is not written chuchu charot hehe tama itong mga nabanggit mo senpai ❤️

Judging by the english levels in japan the entire country needs to switch to a program/curriculum that is taught by NATIVE SPEAKERS primarily. Not ALTs along with a japanese teacher. The way they teach english in japan is not conducive to learning a language

New subscriber here :) your vlogs here seems interesting. Will try to watch them all ☺️

I love the video Joey Sensei! Out of curiosity, as a fellow licensed educator, is there a way to get a Japanese teaching license and become a JTE?

Yes I agree here

Super Agree

Playing ka na sir second device from brando isaac 😂

How many years can an alt teach or have their job Is this a permanent job or on e the contract is over the alt is jobless

#7 should be taken as a challenge for the JTE perhaps hehe. Peace!

Good morning

Hello po kuya Joey. JET Programme applicant ako and I recently sent my application via LBC courier. According to the tracker, it was received by someone. I looked for information regarding the person on his/her connection to the JET Programme. Can you somehow enlighten me regarding this because I'm really concerned about my application since the deadline is tomorrow. Thank you!

Rewatch nlang po sir,

Hello po sir Joey. Ilang years po ba yung kontrata? 😊

Making too much jokes is such a dumb complaint, class is boring for us most of all because the JTEs refuse to use any English in the classroom or respect our opinions to make the lessons more fun. Why pay attention if we don't know what you're saying?

Hi, @joey sensei! I'm not sure if this is the right platform to ask these questions, but I still can't find the answers to these. Pwede nyo po ba ako ma enlighten sa 3 questions ko? Thank you so much in advance. These are: 1. Hnd po ba required mag submit ng COE from your past work? I Hope so po dahil isang COE lng po ang meron ako at mahirap itong hingiin sa previous employer ko. If I'll submit it, I'm afraid na hnd na po ito maibalik pa. 2. Hnd po ba required na sealed mong ipapasa ang Letters of Reference? 3. Sino po ang mag aarrange kung saang apartment ka tutuloy kapag na-deploy na po kau sa knya knyang prefecture?

Im a education graduate, and i have no experience in teaching. Pwede parin po kaya ako mag apply sa JET

Hello, sir. I am a DepEd teacher for 9 years na po, what if po matapos na yong contract, can you still work as a teacher in other schools?

Bakit po kaya di makakapili kung anong level ang gustong turuan?

Curious lang Po sir joey, sa school Po ba na maasign halo halo Ang nationality Ng mg ALT? Or purely from same country? Salamat po

Good morning sir Joey, just wanna ask if may Deped teacher/s po ba na natatanggap sa JET and ano po ginawa nila, resign or 1 yr leave?thanks po
