Teachers helping Teachers
(THT) is a grassroots organization founded by members of the Himeji City
Chapter of JALT (the Japanese Association of Language Teachers) in 2004. THT is
dedicated to the aid and assistance of fellow educators and students in the
developing nations of the Asia Pacific region. We fulfill this mission by providing teacher-training
workshops that exhibit practical, student and teacher friendly approaches to
English education that are informed by current research in the field. Since inception, we have
given well-received seminars in Bangladesh (in 2005, 2006, and 2007) and
Vietnam (2006, 2007, and 2008) and Laos (2007 and 2008), and the Philippines (2008). We have had presenters from
Europe, North America, Australia, South America, and, Asia whose native languages have been English, German, Spanish, and
Japanese. Anyone interested in volunteering
to
present at our upcoming seminars is invited to submit proposals for evaluation
and acceptance. Applicants are expected to
possess post-graduate degrees with experience in giving presentations at
international or national conferences.
Elementary, Junior High, High School, and
University level teachers are
encouraged to apply. We currently are receiving proposals for our
2009 programs in the Philippines, Laos, and Vietnam (Bangladesh is still being arranged). The proposal submission form is on this website (see the navigation bar above left to find the
