Japanese Language Support Center

Welcome to ALTIA CENTRAL's Japanese Learning Resource Hub for aspiring ALTs!

At ALTIA CENTRAL, we recognize the impact that even a little Japanese can have on the daily lives of our ALTs. Our goal is to help you not only prepare for the Japanese portion of the interview process but also to equip you with the essential Japanese language skills you'll encounter in your schools.

While we believe, alongside our client schools and Boards of Education (BOEs), that Japanese should not be used in the classroom with students, we also understand that ALTs operate within a Japanese-speaking environment. Many of your colleagues, including teachers and school staff, may have limited to no English proficiency. By enhancing your Japanese skills, you can foster better communication and build stronger relationships with your coworkers, creating a more seamless and enriching work experience.

Join us as we guide you through the common Japanese phrases and scenarios you'll encounter, helping you navigate your new environment with confidence and ease.

Opportunity to Improve your Japanese Interview Score!

While our goal is to help you better prepare for the Japanese language you may encounter in schools as an ALT, we also want to offer you a chance redo your Japanese interview and improve your score. Even a slight improvement over your original Japanese Interview would help make you a more attractive candidate for any potential positions that may come available. 

Scheduling Another Japanese Interview

To book your attempt at a redo of your Japanese interview, send an email to Graham at recruit@altiacentral.com with several dates and times you are available. Please note that interview slots are limited, so providing multiple options will help us accommodate your schedule.

Please be aware that typically, each applicant is only allowed one opportunity to redo their Japanese Interview.
