These free PDF worksheets, with one complimentary editable handout for this level, are ready to be used in collaboration with your JTE or ALT. Work together to plan engaging, team-teaching lessons. For example, you can demonstrate a model conversation, which is featured in these worksheets, during class. Students benefit from observing how both the JTE and ALT interact, fostering cross-cultural understanding and strengthening the relationship between your country and theirs. This approach helps students build confidence and encourages acceptance of foreigners. A warm-up activity and a popular Listening Pyramid exercise are also included to support vocabulary building and listening comprehension. A Reading Comprehension tool is also available, allowing JTEs to upload passages from textbooks such as New Horizon, New Crown, and others, and automatically generate True or False questions to enhance student understanding. Supplementary interactive games and an Eiken practice activity are available to further enhance the learning experience.

Worksheet: B4 size
In addition, if you are an American ALT in the Japanese Exchange Teaching (JET) Program, please consider applying for their microgrant, which offers up to $1,000 for work-related expenses.
All ALTs, JET and non-JET, make sure to speak with your school principal or supervisor about budgets for teaching materials. Often, schools manage these funds or help request them from the local BOE. Some BOEs may also allow ALTs to request funds directly, so it’s worth asking your supervisor.
Together, let’s inspire hope, build confidence, and create memorable classroom experiences. 全員参加で楽しくガンバロウ。
