An Assistant Language Teacher (ALT) is a foreign national serving as an assistant teacher (paraprofessional educator) in a Japanese classroom, particularly for English.
The term was created by the Japanese Ministry of Education at the time of the creation of the JET Programme as a translation of the term 外国語指導助手 (gaikokugo shidō joshu) or literally "foreign language instruction assistant". The terms AET (Assistant English Teacher), ELT (English Language Teacher) and NESA (Native English Speaking Assistant) are also in use. The term is used by the Ministry of Education, local Boards of Education (BOEs) and schools in Japan primarily to refer to English language speakers who assist with teaching of English in elementary, junior high and high schools. However, some ALTs help teach languages other than English.
ALTs are required to be university graduates, but they are usually not certified teachers like their Japanese colleagues.
Being an ALT
Requirements
The JET Programme set the general prerequisites imposed by Japanese immigration (bachelor's degree, health, nationality) and the characteristics that can be considered to be sought by the Japanese government, boards of education (BOEs), and schools.
Increasing globalization has created a large need for people in the workforce who can communicate in multiple languages. The uses of common languages are in areas such as trade, tourism, international relations, technology, media, and science. Many countries such as Korea (Kim Yeong-seo, 2009), Japan (Kubota, 1998) and China (Kirkpatrick & Zhichang, 2002) frame education policies to teach at least one foreign language at the primary and secondary school levels. However, some countries such as India, Singapore, Malaysia, Pakistan, and the Philippines use a second official language in their governments. According to GAO (2010), China has recently been putting enormous importance on foreign language learning, especially the English language.
History of foreign language education
Ancient to medieval period
Although the need to learn foreign languages is older than human history itself, the origins of modern language education are in the study and teaching of Latin in the 17th century. Latin had for many centuries been the dominant language of education, commerce, religion, and government in much of the Western world, but it was displaced by French, Italian, and English by the end of the 16th century. John Amos Comenius was one of many people who tried to reverse this trend. He composed a complete course for learning Latin, covering the entire school curriculum, culminating in his Opera Didactica Omnia, 1657.
Mga Bagay na Maaring Hindi nyo Magustuhan bilang Assistant Language Teacher dito sa Japan
Dahil sa sobrang daming free time ng ALT, minsan I really question my existence. Siguro nasanay na rn kasi ako sa Pilipinas noon na as a teacher, marami talagang trabaho. Please remember, ESID, Every Situation is Different. My experiences may not always be exactly the same for others. Also, depende rin po sa tao on how he/she would take these situations. Gustung-gusto ko sya minsan dahil super gaan lang. Minsan naman, nakakaburyong dn.

A day in the Life of an Assistant Language Teacher in Japan Compilation | JET Programme 2023
Hi! I compiled my short videos about a day in the life of an ALT under JET Programme. Hope you get an idea how an assistant language teacher's life is in Japan. But again, every situation is different. Just remember, to be a happy ALT, we need to enjoy what we do regardless of our placement and let's stop comparing ourselves to other ALTs.
