我学到了什么?我学会了如何制定课程计划，以及如何进一步根据每个学生的需求进行教学。我还学会了如何与一群不同的、固执己见的人一起工作，以实现共同的目标。我会说是这个项目

绝对值得，但不是每个人都喜欢。你在这个节目中做什么?在这个项目中，您将获得在东京停留2个月的英语作为外语教学(也称为TEFL)的认证。你要花一个月的时间在各种各样的学校(小学到高中)跟随日本英语老师，并在当地大学主持英语会话课。项目的最后两周专门举办东京英语营(TEC)，让京都一所大学的学生来东京。到目前为止，这对我来说是这个项目最精彩的部分。实地工作非常有趣，能够和我的两个学生一起出去玩，并为期末项目制作视频，这是非常值得的。这段经历有什么困难?东京是一个生活成本很高的城市。这个项目不包括项目赞助活动以外的伙食费，所以你最终要花很多钱在吃饭上。 The best way to decrease the cost is to make your own meals so you aren't spending the entire time eating at restaurants. Also transportation is charged per total distance, so if you're going from one end of Tokyo to another it can get really costly. So definitely plan to spend a bare minimum of $300 per month on transportation via the trains. Best Experiences While Abroad? I was lucky to have had numerous conversations with Japanese locals who wanted to know what I was doing in Japan and how my courses were going (when I mentioned I was studying Japanese on my own). Also I spent a lot of time with my students during the English camp at the end of the program. I also went and looked up numerous summer festivals and ended up going to most of them. I even got to go to Kyoto for a weekend on my own which was excellent (but not included in the program so I paid out of pocket for that). Advice for Potential Travelers? Push your comfort zone, and seek to fully immerse yourself as much as you can in the local culture. Japan is a diverse country with many interesting regional differences, so if you can afford it travel outside the Tokyo region. Definitely study a little Japanese before going, so you can at least thank people and order meals. But if you get the chance to hang out with some locals take that opportunity because Japanese people won't often interact with foreigners if they don't already know them. My best experiences were when I got to experience the local culture and festivals (definitely go to a summer matsuri if you get the chance).
