I'm from United States, currently living in Aomori, Japan.

4. Why did you take a TEFL/TESOL course from ITTT?
I am currently teaching English (through the JET program) and wanted to become a better English teacher by expanding my knowledge.
5. What was your favorite part about the course?
I enjoyed the chapter on teaching receptive skills. I think this is important to teach because it helps ignite more interest in language learning.

8. Where would you like to teach English? Why? (If you already are teaching abroad - where do you teach and what do you like about that location?)
