今日はJETプログラムについてお話しようと思います

The jet program is a Japan exchange teaching program.

この時期がせまってきて、ちょうど今応募できると思います

So if you guys are interested in teaching in Japan jet program is probably the one thing that you want to look at first among all the other programs because the jet program and honestly it pays the most um, it gets you to Japan for free.

JETプログラムとは、日本の交換ティーチング制度です

もし日本で教えることに興味があるなら、

I'm going to tell you a story about my experience in the jet program because it wasn't pretty, if you guys don't know me.

このJETプログラムは、まず初めに調べるプログラムの１つだろうと思います

My name is Liz kelly and I live in Japan have lived here for five years and this channel is all about life, health and travel, honestly can't escape Japan videos because this is my life, this is my life.

実を言うと、JETプログラムは一番給料が良くて

I started out in the jet program and that's why I'm here today to help you guys apply for it and be the best that you can be if you want to move to Japan very, very hard to move to Japan when you don't want to teach.

プログラムを通してたくさんのことを学べます

I suggest teaching for at least a year moving to Japan and then if you want to search for something else, there are possibilities and ways to do that.

今回は私のJETプログラムでの経験をお話しします。

あんまり良くなかったからね。

Today, we're going to talk about teaching.

私の名前はLyzkellyで、日本には5年間住んでいます。

Not saying that the jet program is a bad program.

このチャンネルはライフスタイルや旅行についてのチャンネルです。

The jet program is actually like one of the best program.

正直に言うと、日本のビデオを避けることはできません。

Um, some situations are worse than others.

You can't really choose where you live, all sorts of things.

私はJETプログラムを経験したので、皆さんが応募するにあたってベストを尽くせる

So this is like the first video in my moving to Japan series.

お手伝いができるように、今日ここにいます。

I'm currently working on a guidebook on how to move to Japan and what you need documents.

先生になることを嫌がってはいけないでしょう。

You need, um, reasons why you want to move here.

私は最低でも１年は先生をしてから

Um, what to prepare, what to bring, all sorts of things.

I'm working on that guide book right now and it's going to be kind of like a video course bef to prep you to move to Japan because I wish I had that before I moved to Japan.

If you guys want to know anything and you want me to put like a detailed description of something in this guidebook, please comment down below.

ですが、今回はティーチングについて話します。

I would love to know your questions so I can put those in the guide book that's going to be coming out soon on my website.

JETプログラムが悪いプログラムだと言いたいのではなくて、

最適なプログラムの１つだと思います。

When I was in college I was studying japanese and education.

ただ、住むところが選べないなどといったいくつかの事が他のものより悪い。

I wanted to be a japanese teacher in the states, but jobs were very scarce once I graduated.

日本への引っ越しのシリーズで最初のビデオになります。

So I decided I wanted to move to Japan to teach as an english teacher, when you apply for the jet program, you do not have to be a teacher.

私は現在、日本への引越しの仕方や必要書類、

You just have to have, you don't have to have experience as a teacher, you just have to have a bachelor's degree.

またなぜ日本へ来たのか、準備や荷物など

ガイドブックに携わる仕事をしています。

皆さんが日本に来る前にやるべき事を

So those types of teachers are basically like language recorders.

私自身知っておくべきだったからです。

So most of the jobs in the jet program are just LT positions.

もし詳しく知っているのなら、

Some schools will, that will allow you to teach like a full class and things like that just depends on your situation.

もうすぐ私のウェブサイトで公開されるガイドブックを

Nobody has the same experience, that's all I'm going to say.

So going into this you have to be open minded and you have to prepare for the worst.

皆さんからの質問を知りたいので、

I applied for the jet program my last right before I graduated I was very hopeful.

下のコメント欄に書いてください。

I've been wanting to do this for so long.

私は大学生のときに、日本語と教育を勉強しました。

アメリカで日本語教師になりたかったんですけど、

When I studied abroad in high school, I met a couple of LTs that did the jet program and that's how I learned about it and then I always aspired to do this program like all my life.

卒業したときは仕事が十分になかったので

And so I was really excited to apply for.

なので、日本で英語の先生になることを決めました。

It didn't apply for just one program, I applied for jet program.

皆さんがJETプログラムに応募するときは、先生になる必要はありません。

I applied for interact which is another company that's similar to the jet program, all sorts of programs that you can apply for.

先生の経験も必要なく、学士の学位だけ持っていれば大丈夫です。

So I applied for all of them just in case I didn't get the jet program, applied for the jet program filled up the long ass application essay.

ほとんどのALT (Assistant Language Teacher) は

基本的に言語的なレコーダーです。

JETプログラムの中での仕事のほとんどは

I was excited to hear back and then eventually I got the interview and I was really, really excited.

I was like, oh my gosh, I can't believe I made it to the interview interview was not as intense as the actual application.

いくつかの学校は全てのクラスを任されますが、

Like you would think that it would be more intense.

But when I entered the room, the people that were there were pretty kind and nice and considerate.

Some of my interview is in japanese because if you put that you're, you speak japanese, they'll ask you questions in japanese, you don't need to learn japanese.

誰しも全く同じ経験は持っていない。

They just want to test that you're true to what you say and went through the interview, I was pretty confident and then I eventually got the job and I was really excited.

受容的かつ、最悪な事にも準備しなければいけません。

The worst part was getting all the documents he needed to move to Japan, especially the fingerprints, the fingerprints.

私がJETプログラムに応募したのは卒業する直前で、

I almost wasn't going to be able to go to Japan because of those damn fingerprints.

ずっとやってみたかったから希望に満ち溢れていて、

So I would turn in my fingerprints and they weren't, they weren't going through like it just wasn't calculating, I searched everywhere for different police departments and things like that that would take me and do my fingerprints.

私は高校生のときに留学をして

JETプログラムをしている何人かのALTの先生と会い、このプログラムについて知りました。

Eventually it went through, I was okay to go but it was just madness, background checks, all sorts of health checks, shots, things like that.

そして毎日のようにこのプログラムに参加したいと思っていたので、

You need all this stuff in order to move to Japan.

応募することにワクワクしていました。

That was probably the most stressful part.

The most tedious part was application interview part was the easiest and the gathering the documents part was the most stressful.

JETプログラムに参加できなかった場合のために

I moved to Al Maury Prefecture and Al Maury Prefecture is very isolating.

JETプログラムと同じような他のプログラム全てに応募しました。

So let's back up a little bit when I got my placement, I was like, that sucks.

皆さんも全てのプログラムに応募するとこができます。

I heard very good things about Al Maury like there's beautiful festivals, beautiful things.

It was a new experience for me because I've always spent my time in the Kansai region.

とても長いアプリケーションに記入します。

準備もできていたし、返事を楽しみにしていました。

So going to the very north of Japan but it was also very scary because of the earthquake had just happened like a year ago and then they emailed me and they said we don't really have a position for you.

そして最終的にはインタビューに進みました。

信じられない、インタビューへ進むことができた！

インタビューは実際のアプリケーションほど堅苦しいものではありませんでした。

E, which is a board of education office in Al Maury.

面接官たちはすごく優しくて親しみやすく、

もし日本語で話せば、日本語で質問してくれます。

Usually when you join the debt program you have a predecessor.

本心で話しているかを知りたいだけなので

日本語を話す必要はありません。

I don't even know you have somebody that's the person that you're going to take the place of is the person that's kind of your mentor before you moved to Japan.

She told me that she didn't teach very much, she would go to maybe one school like a month and I was like, oh my God, I picked the one girl that has an education background that studied education and they didn't have a school for her.

ついに仕事をゲットしました！

I didn't have a placement at a school, like a specific school.

すごくワクワクしていましたが、

She went to like seven different schools and she would only go to these schools like every couple few months so she wouldn't be able to connect with the students, she wouldn't be able to connect with the teachers, I wouldn't be able to do those things.

一番大変だったのは日本へ行くための書類を準備するとこでした。

So I was panicking and I was like, okay, so what did they over recruit and then they didn't know where to put me because my goal was to teach in Japan, like I wanted a school, I wanted to teach, this is my dream.

And the fact that I didn't really get that opportunity was very disappointing there.

そのせいでもう少しで日本へ行けないところでした。

Like if we'd understand if you didn't want to do the jet program, blah blah blah blah blah and that was disheartening.

警察では正しく実施してくれませんでした。

So I said yes and I said, you know, I'm going to be positive about this, I'm going to be open minded, I'm going to go into this, have new experiences, meet new people.

だから私はとった指紋を返却しました。

Um, so I was really hyping myself up, I was pumping myself up for this experience to happen, like this is my dream and I'm going to be fine, everything's gonna be okay, It was very positive about it.

彼らはちゃんと目を通していなかった。

Then when I got there, when I got to al Maury, I was given an apartment that was literally 9000 yen a month, which is $90 a month.

きちんと実施してくれる他の部署を探しました。

Like if you touch the walls things would come off of them.

結局、出発する準備はできたものの

日本へ行くためには経歴や病歴などの

あらゆるものが必要だったんです。

I had a bathtub that if the winter got cold enough it would freeze and I would have to take a pot of water and dump it on top of the bathtub to get it to work and fire it up.

一番面倒だったのはアプリケーション、

Like it was really intense living in Al Maury at the time.

There were no trains going from Alan moore to Tokyo place.

I lived in Hirosaki which is probably one of the best places to be in Al Maury.

私は青森県に引っ越しました。

I think it's a very small city but it's very beautiful.

そこはとても辺鄙なところなんです。

The castle was probably one of my favorite castle grounds.
