What is an ALT?

Interac ALTs work in Japanese schools – elementary, junior high and high schools (Interac’s clients). ALTs are the face of the global community and have an important role in helping and supporting students to broaden their horizons and develop international understanding. ALTs are also role models in the wider school community.

Interac ALTs can expect to teach the class on their own, with the presence of a Japanese teacher for classroom management. Even though there are three types of Japanese school, an Interac ALT can reasonably expect to teach in at least two. Currently, the most common combination is an elementary/junior high school ALT with a majority of their time teaching at junior high school level.

All Interac ALTs are encouraged to take an active role in their school and wider community. Getting involved in school and community activities will really enhance your life in Japan.
