ETJ Certificate in Teaching Japanese Students
ETJ offers unique one-day certificate courses sponsored by David English House and Oxford University Press. This
course has been designed to address the needs of teachers in Japan and is offered in May/June in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka each year.
The Aim
The aim is for the ideas in the courses, and in the reports written by those who attend the courses, to be based on research,
and trial-and-error experience, in various kinds of Japanese teaching situations.
The course is appropriate for teachers of Japanese junior and senior high school students, college students, and adults (see
below for a recommended one-day course in teaching elementary school children).
Introductory Certificate / Certificate
Different course contents are offered in alternating years. To obtain the 'Introductory Certificate', it is necessary to
attend one course and write a report based on that course. To obtain the full 'Certificate', it is necessary to attend a
Course A and a Course B and write a report on each of the courses.
The Certificates are awarded by Oxford University Press and David English House.
