The
NCJLT (National Council of Japanese Language Teachers)
is an organization which supports not only the development
and promotion of Japanese language materials and programs
across the United States, but contributes significantly
to the professional development of its member teachers
(over a thousand strong, from K-16). Among the services
we provide, we publish two journals, our main print-journal
Oshirase and our digital newsletter, E-Oshirase. We also
have a website which has information about all of the
services we provide.
As we are a non-profit organization funded almost fully
by our membership dues, charitable donations, we are always
looking to raise money especially to support our annual
contests and to keep our newsletters at the lowest cost
possible for our members. In turn, we are always seeking
advertisers for our two journals. Advertisers in Oshirase
and E-Oshirase reach a dedicated audience of Japanese
language teachers who are eager to hear about new products
and teaching materials. Advertising in Oshirase and the
E-Oshirase is inexpensive and easy. All proceeds benefit
the projects and teacher-services provided by NCJLT, such
as ACTFL session sponsorship, Nengajou Contest, and Japanese
National Honor Society.
