Japanese Taster for Schools (JTS) Programme

What is the Japanese Taster for Schools (JTS) Programme?

The Japan Taster for Schools (JTS) Programme exists to create links between schools and Japanese-speaking volunteers. JTS volunteers carry out school visits across the UK to introduce students at any level to the Japanese language, often as part of an International or Japan day. One of the main purposes of JTS is to give schools that do not teach Japanese the opportunity to find out what it is like to learn the language and to provide them with further information should they wish to start offering Japanese.

Japan Foundation London currently has a UK-wide network of over 300 volunteers, and we’re always looking for more! Guidance and training sessions are offered to all members to prepare them for delivering Japanese taster sessions at schools.
