| Description: |
U.S. Embassy Tokyo’s Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit proposals for English teacher training projects to improve the communicative English language teaching skills of Japanese elementary school teachers in Japan. 1. Priority Region: Japan 2. Program Objectives: To enhance English language education in Japan to foster a young generation who can compete in and contribute to the global society, the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT) implemented a new policy in April 2020 to teach English as a regular subject for fifth and sixth graders. However, Japanese elementary school teachers are not formally trained to teach English and are in need to learn how to teach English communicatively. The U.S. Embassy has set strengthening English language education as a Mission priority and is committed to providing Japanese teachers of English with Teaching of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) opportunities to improve their English teaching, with the goal of promoting more student exchange between the United States and Japan. The Embassy proposes to address this complex issue by accepting proposals for English teacher training projects to improve the future communicative English language teaching skills of Japanese elementary school teachers through innovative engagement with teacher training institutions in Japan. |
