Hello
I am a CELTA and MA TESOL & Applied Linguistics qualified teacher in my tenth year of teaching. Looking to move to Asia this year to make and save some money for at least a few years.
Have been reading threads and the terms JET ALT Eikawas etc are mentioned quite often. Could someone enlighten me as I have no idea what they mean.
Happy New Year everyone! |

Google is your friend.
The only one that's not immediately obvious from the first two results is ALT, which stands for assistant language teacher. |
