Pros

The experience to be able to teach in a foreign school is unforgettable. Interactions with students and teachers were great and able to see different perspective when discussing teaching techniques.

Cons

Surprisingly not all schools are equipped with ICT features and settings. With the introduction of ICT, it could increase the range of teaching techniques.

Pros

JETs have support from CLAIR , their Board of Education, and local AJET chapters. CLAIR provides training, orientations, and even funding for teaching certifications.

Cons

Some ALTs co-teach actively and feel valued; others get stuck reading from a script. Your school, co-workers, and Board of Education make a big difference.
