Kelly, Mark and Suzanne – two Canadians and a British citizens, respectively – are working as Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs) within the Japan Exchange and Teaching Program (JET) in Soto, Japan. In an effort to improve the English education standards used in Japanese schools, the national government designed the JET program to facilitate the exchange of English teachers from international locales. Government agencies and other educational experts believed that the process of exchanging teachers would serve to further the growing commitment to internalization on the municipal level, emphasizing the value of English-language competency for Japanese citizens and government workers. In order to properly address the instance of workplace issues or complaints from its ALTs, the JET program allowed for a process of resolution mediated by the Conference of Local Authorities for International Relations (CLAIR). Although the CLAIR program was intended to be proactive in nature, its standards were only applicable if the host institution remained unable to resolve the conflict through independent means. Case study 8 thus examines the occurrence of several conflicts between Japanese authorities and its contingent of foreign workers teaching English as ALTs.
