Although participants from English speaking nations make up the majority of participants on the JET Programme, most of them are in Japan as Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs). 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 41 countries around the world.
