AJEC History

From Akita Wiki

2007
The Akita JET English Contest was started by Grant MacKinnon in 2007 as an opportunity for ALTs to connect with their students on a more personal level.

2008
Rob Evans became the coordinator of the contest. Slight refinements were made to the structure of the competition and school trophies were introduced. More students and ALTs became involved. Unfortunately there was no Senior High School competition in 2008.

2009
Rob Evans and Owen Cunningham are coordinating the Junior High School section of AJEC. With the increasing popularity of the competition, futher refinements have been made to the competition. This year, in addition to working with ALTs, the coordinators will also be communicating directly with City Boards of Education and with JTEs to simplify the process for interested ALTs and to improve communication all around.
