As the number of Japanese-language students continues to grow overseas, the lack of competent teachers is becoming a serious problem. Since 1987, AJALT has been conducting Overseas Teacher Seminars for those involved in teaching Japanese at secondary schools, universities, and private sector institutions in the U.S., Australia, the U.K., Thailand and Singapore. AJALT provides instructors for specialized training courses(sponsored by Japan International Cooperation Agency) for Japanese-language teachers of second-and third- generation Japanese living abroad.
