3,783 languages interview questions shared by candidates

I was asked a series of questions about what I knew about Japan. Who was the Prime Minister? Why Japan? What Japanese culture was I interested in? I was asked about teaching. Did I have teaching experience? What was my teaching philosophy? What is something I could do at my school to encourage English language learning? How long did I plan to stay on JET? Why? What does JET stand for? Can you speak Japanese? And right as the interview was wrapping up, and I thought I was in the clear, I was asked the following question - 'Why did the United States drop 2 atomic bombs on Japan during WWII?' Yes, sometimes they really do ask this question. Do research online to find basic questions that are routinely answered. It's also important to look over the essay you wrote for your application. Sometimes they'll ask you questions about it. Good Luck!

Please put together a short 5 minute lesson plan using the materials in this room for a class of 20, 8-10 year olds wanting to learn English on the topic of your favorite snack. As a Japanese-American you may face certain situations in which you could be treated unfairly compared to your peers, how would you deal with that situation? How would you explain the atomic bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima to an 8 year old student?
