Interac - Assistant Language Teacher (ALT) Positions in Japan

Founded in 1972, Interac is Japan’s largest private provider of professional foreign teachers to the Japanese government through its ALT program. Interac is also a significant player in providing professional teachers for commercial and government organizations. Interac’s teachers, working in the Japanese school system, enrich children’s lives by delivering interactive and exciting English lessons, while also sharing their knowledge of English and communication skills, and giving insights into other cultures. We are now looking for more English teachers who wish to teach in Japan.

About the position

“ALT” (Assistant Language Teacher) is a title coined by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) to describe native-level speakers of English working in Japanese classrooms. As an Interac ALT, you are not a member of the schools’ staff but an employee of Interac, and therefore, you work under the guidance of Interac. Location: Various locations across Japan Start date: Starting year-round (Mostly in April) Teaching schedule: Weekdays between 8:00am and 5:00pm. (Commuting expenses reimbursed) Teaching Hours: Typically three to five 45-minute classes per day Student ages: Elementary school students are between 6 and 12 years old. Junior high school students are between 12 and 15 years old. High school students are between 15 to 18 years old. Responsibilities: Interac's ALTs are a part of elementary, junior high, and high school communities all across Japan. In your schools, you’ll work with Japanese teachers to facilitate smooth presentation of the school’s assigned English curriculum. This may include preparing worksheets, model pronunciation and reading, demonstration of target language dialogs and similar tasks. In addition, ALTs are commonly asked to review and comment on students’ homework notebooks and other written work, as well as conducting one-to-one or small group progress assessments. But the heart of the ALT position is so much more – aside from just being a language instructor you are also a cultural ambassador. Sharing your own background and culture becomes a canvas for using English and gives meaning to what your students are studying.

Benefits

• Salary: Between ¥2.4 – ¥3.0 million Yen per year
• Obon (summer), New Year’s holidays, national holidays, and paid leave

• Have at least a bachelor’s degree in any subject from an accredited university
• Be a team-player that is professional, flexible, cheerful, and energetic

Sandblast Arts — English Language Teaching Assistant / Creative Education Facilitator

Sandblast Arts is seeking a thoughtful, flexible, and creative person to support Desert Voicebox, our after-school English and music programme for Saharawi refugee children in the refugee camps near Tindouf, southwest Algeria. Desert Voicebox supports children to build English communication skills, confidence, creativity, self-expression, and a stronger sense of voice. The programme is led by local Saharawi women teachers, with support from international educators and visiting education practitioners. We are now recruiting for a Teaching Assistant / Creative Education Facilitator role for the 2026–2027 school year.

About the position

Location: Saharawi refugee camps near Tindouf — Algeria. Student ages: 8–16 years old. Placement period: Placements may take place during the 2026–2027 school year, between approximately late September 2026 and mid-May 2027. Placements will typically last around six weeks, with the possibility of extending longer by agreement, depending on programme needs, availability, and fit. This is a placement for someone who has experience teaching or supporting English learning with children, ideally primary-aged children, and who can also bring a creative or child-centred skill that could be developed into workshops. Responsibilities: The person selected will support English classes alongside local Saharawi teachers and an experienced English Language Co-Teacher / Teacher Trainer. This may include helping prepare classroom materials, supporting children during lessons, assisting with pair work and group work, helping with reading, games, songs, homework, pen-pal letters, and small-group activities, and helping create a warm, encouraging, English-rich classroom environment. Please note: This is not a lead English teacher role. It is best suited to someone who is happy to support, observe, learn, assist, and contribute as part of a team. The right person will be patient, practical, humble, culturally sensitive, and comfortable joining an existing Saharawi-led programme rather than taking over the classroom. Creative and child-centred workshops: In addition to supporting English classes, the Teaching Assistant / Creative Education Facilitator will plan and lead creative or child-centred workshops with children on two workshop days each week. These workshops should not simply be extra English lessons. They should use creativity, play, expression, movement, storytelling, arts, music, sport, SEND-informed practice, wellbeing activities, or another child-centred specialism to help children build confidence, communication, imagination, teamwork, and self-expression.

Requirements

This role would suit someone who is adaptable, warm, creative, and genuinely interested in learning from and contributing to a Saharawi-led education programme in a low-resource refugee camp setting. It would be a strong fit for someone who can be useful and supportive in English classes, while also bringing their own creative or specialist skills to meaningful child-centred workshops. Essential criteria — Applicants should have:

• A TEFL, TESOL, CELTA, or similar English language teaching qualification.
• At least one year of experience teaching or supporting English learning with children, ideally primary-aged children.
• Experience working with children in a group setting.
• A clear creative, SEND, trauma-informed, youth-work, sport, arts, music, storytelling, movement, or other child-centred specialism that could be developed into workshops for children.
• A flexible, practical, and respectful attitude.
• Willingness to support rather than lead the overall English programme.
• Ability to adapt to a low-resource and culturally different environment.
• Strong teamwork and communication skills.
• Sensitivity to local culture and community knowledge.
• Willingness to live with a Saharawi host family during the placement.

Desirable experience: Experience in low-resource, refugee, migrant, community, creative education, SEND, youth work, or cross-cultural settings is especially welcome. Arabic, Spanish, or French language skills are helpful but not required. We are especially interested in applicants who can bring one or more of the following: storytelling, creative writing, drama, theatre, music, singing, rhythm, percussion, dance, movement, sport, visual art, drawing, painting, collage, photography, crafts, recycled-material art, reading clubs, children’s literacy, spoken expression, student voice activities, SEND support, trauma-informed education, emotional regulation, wellbeing-focused activities, behaviour support, youth work, summer camps, clubs, or children’s activity leadership.

Benefits

For the agreed placement period, Sandblast Arts can provide:

• Food and accommodation with a Saharawi host family (covered up to approximately £630 for a six-week placement).
• In-country transport from Tindouf airport to the refugee camps.
• Programme orientation and support from the Desert Voicebox team.
• Guidance on acquiring a visa, preparing for the placement, and adapting activities to the local context.

Applicants should expect to cover:

• International flights to and from Tindouf, Algeria.
• Travel insurance.
• Personal spending money.

How to apply

If you're interested in this position, please send your application along with the items listed below to: commssandblast@gmail.com

• CV/Resume
• A short workshop proposal, outlining the kind of creative or child-centred workshops they would be interested in offering children during the placement.
• Your preferred placement dates and duration, including whether you would be available to begin in late September 2026 or would prefer to be considered for a later placement window.

Kindly also include that you came across our job posting on World TESOL Academy.
