The majority of JET participants are Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs) who are from English speaking countries. There are also many other participants, from both English speaking and non-English speaking countries who are Coordinators for International Relations (CIRs) and Sports Exchange Advisors (SEAs). This year we welcome participants from 39 countries around the world.
