Traveller Tine: My Job

I teach English at a Senior High School in Sendai, Japan. I currently have 16 classes of students in the 1st and 2nd years of high school (there are only 3 years of high school in Japan). I am absolutely loving my classes and the students are all so sweet.
So far I am assisting students with speeches, as many are currently working on a project in which they have to memorize a speech introducing themselves. Others in their 3rd year are working on memorizing a much more complicated speech for the city speech contest which takes place in October.
Because I have come to the school in the middle of term (school begins in April), they are general already busy with projects. I've therefore only given a brief introduction of myself to the classes and talked a little but about Canada, my family and myself. I also posted a Canadian display on the English board outside of the classroom.

Once this project has been completed, I will be giving a much larger introduction and giving each of the classes a lecture about Canada. After that, I am given much more responsibility and have already begun planning the lessons for October. We will be working on introducing and speaking about your community. I'll also be giving a lesson about pronunciation, as I've noticed many students struggle with this.

Here is a picture of the English classroom. I've already mentioned before that I am quite lucky to be the only ALT in Sendai with air conditioning, but I'm also lucky to have a dedicated English room. Most ALT's tour around to each home room to teach, but because my school is so big, the students come to me.
