Program Parameters
Program Support
Once the J-corps, Jr. Program stars, program consultants
from The Laurasian Institution are available to deal with a variety of issues
that might arise,
including challenges in cultural adjustment and effective use of
J-corps, Jr. students. When necessary, there is more frequent
contact among a host teacher, a J-corps, Jr. student, a host familiy
and the program consultants. Support will be
available by phone, fax, and e-mail. Site visits will only take
place in the event of emergencies.
Participating J-corps, Jr. schools are expected
to recognize the J-corps, Jr. students are exchange
students,
not
substitutes or student teachers. J-corps, Jr. students share
in the learning of Japanese and Japanese culture with their peers and in turn
receive help from the American students with the English language work.
The J-corps, Jr. program will contribute $500
to the Japanese language teacher. As is very common, most teachers
often spend their own money to purchase classroom materials. While
$500 may not cover the entire yearly expense outlay of the Japanese
language teacher, it will hopefully reduce some of the burden. In
exchange, we would like the Japanese language teacher to provide
short, monthly emails to TLI regarding the adjustment process of
the exchange student. This information will be relayed back to the
student’s parents.
