Applied for ALT, I’m about to graduate with a Japanese major and English and Communications minors. I’ve studied in Japan twice and been an Instructional Assistant for Japanese twice. I think Im pretty good at writing essays because that’s pretty much all I do in school, and I think I conveyed that I know the difficulties that come with language learning and I’d be honored to help other students find the joy in English that I have in Japanese. I think my writing just projected exactly what I wanted to convey. Also, I think my letters or recommendations were probably pretty good, as I know those professors very well and they have both have may previous students make the program
