I think the most difficult question for me was about what qualities I thought were most important in an ALT. This is something you really have to think about after researching the position. I have many friends who have been ALTs for years and all of their experiences were different, so I had a lot of difficulty answering this question.
What is you biggest weakness?
- What three things would you bring to a classroom to represent your hometown? - How would you handle culture shock/homesickness? - Would you be comfortable being invited by coworkers to drink after work? - (Specific questions relating to SOP and placement preferences)
What are three things you would bring from the US to Japan?
How will you handle culture shock? What kind of lesson would you teach about the place where you live?
What parts of Canadian culture would you teach to your students?
Why JET? Can you give a demonstration lesson about fruit? What would you do if you feel lonely/not accepted/other problem in a foreign country.
Why did you choose Japan specifically to teach?
Do you have any teaching experience?
