"How would teach kids who are not interested in English?" "How would you answer kids if they ask why the US dropped an atomic bomb on Japan?" "What is your teaching pedagogy?" "Do you know about the controversy surrounding US military bases in Okinawa?"
If you were trying to explain a concept in English to your Japanese students, but they couldn't understand, how would you make them understand without speaking Japanese?
Why do you want to teach English in Japan?
Why are you interested in the JET Program?
What makes you a good fit?
Would you be willing to cut your hair? (Yes, this is a real question that was asked, mainly applies to men.)
How do you handle being alone?
General questions about my application - why I chose particular locations etc.
- How would you feel if you were given a placement in the North of Japan (As I put South on Placements) - What would you say to a child who tells you "I don't need to use English!" - What lesson idea would you teach in class? - Do you prefer countryside/ city? They will ask you about your school teaching methods, raise scenarios in which children will challenge you, and ask you how you will be able to cope if your placement ends up becoming a disappointment (this is a very real problem in JET in which one may end up in an unsatisfying school or area).
