Customer Reviews
Informative and Interesting
I've loved the time I've spent listening (and watching) Chaz talk about his experiences as an ALT (or should I say Oral Communication Specialist) in Japan. I was a high school exchange student through YFU in Kumamoto-shi, Kumamoto this past summer, and many of the things Chaz talks about remind me of my time there. The classroom in which his video-cast was filmed looks just like the one I spent four weeks sitting in! But I guess that's to be expected in Japan after all. This is a great show that I would recommend to anyone interested in Japanese culture. Now for Chaz, please make more videos! That was my favorite episode!
Very informative and entertaining
This is a great podcast for JETs or any other English teachers. Chaz has devoted impressive amount of time to deliver this non-biased, wonderful resource. He has been teaching in Japan for over a decade for a number of organizations so he is able to offer different perspectives for an aspiring teacher. I anxiously await new episodes.
Great podcast for aspiring JETs and English Teachers
Chaz, the host of the show, has a lot of insight from his years of experience teaching English in Japan. I found this podcast very useful for my teaching studies, and I think it is perfect for anyone who wishes to become a JET or English Teacher.
