Get paired with a Japanese partner and visit a Japanese elementary school to do fun activities with children in English!
For this Outreach, students will join English classes at an elementary school, with Japanese students supporting communication between the international students and the schoolchildren.
There is no need to prepare a lesson plan, however, team-teaching pairs (matched by the ICC) should meet in advance to talk and ensure that they can work smoothly during the class.
The Outreach Program is ideal for those interested in cross-cultural education, volunteering, exchange with a Japanese student, practicing public speaking, or teaching after graduation. We look forward to your application!
*What is the ICC Outreach Program?
The ICC Outreach Program pairs Japanese and international students to work together to create a lesson plan and materials for a class meant to promote cross-cultural understanding. The lessons are given at local or regional Japanese elementary, junior and senior high schools to help foster intercultural understanding among school students.
