Showing the love of Christ by teaching English in Tamura, Japan.
The Wakakusa English Program
The Wakakusa English Program is a ministry that provides a Christian presence in the city of Tamura, Japan by sending English speakers from America into Japanese schools as English teachers and assistant English teachers. The Wakakusa English Program serves the community through its excellence in teaching and by promoting international and cross-cultural understanding. Ultimately, Wakakusa demonstrates the love of Christ through teaching, through relationships within the Wakakusa team, and through its service to the Japanese community around us.
Why teach English?
Due to its widespread international use, English has become an integral part of the Japanese educational system. By teaching English, Wakakusa English teachers are not only helping Japanese students to succeed in school, but are also equipping them with skills that will give them a competitive edge and better enable them to succeed in the future. Wakakusa English teachers and assistant teachers also offer unique opportunities for cross-cultural understanding and communication to a community that otherwise has few opportunities for such contact.
