On Friday, July 19th, the Consulate General of Japan in San Francisco hosted the JET Teaching Workshop for outbound JET Program participants, who will leave for Japan at the beginning of August this year at San Jose State University. The workshop was led be Ms. Amy Russo, who is a former JET Assistant Language Teacher (Gunma, 2010-2015), and currently works as a Multilingual Writing Support Service Coordinator. 14 outbound JET participants attended and got the chance to learn about basic English teaching skills and team teaching with Japanese English teachers. Both this workshop and a workshop held at the consulate last month were very well received by all the participants.
