Takahiro Yokoyama, a PhD student in Australia is doing a project that involves researching the experiences of ALTs (whether they were on the JET program OR worked for a different company!). If you have time, please consider taking a survey to provide some data for him – and please feel free to forward it to any other people you know that were English teachers in Japan.
Here’s the link for the survey; message from Takahiro is below: http://survey.qut.edu.au/f/179616/9b06/
