Sarah R. Taylor于5月毕业于Valdosta州立大学，通过日本交流与教学计划在日本教书。 |
VALDOSTA — A 美高梅博彩 alumna who majored in international business is getting to spend a year living and working in Japan.
萨拉·r·泰勒（Sarah R. Taylor）是佐治亚州瓦尔多斯塔（Valdosta）人，今年5月毕业于美高梅博彩，获得国际商务工商管理学士学位。 7月下旬，她前往日本，在日本交流与教学（JET）项目中担任助理语言教师一年。
“I have met people from all over the world, so the community I have built here is great so far,” Taylor said of her ongoing JET experience. “I am placed in Echizen City, Fukui [Prefecture]… I have five schools this year.”
JET项目是日本政府提供的就业机会。 该项目聘请外向的年轻专业人士在日本担任助理语言教师或国际关系协调员。
JET教师每年签订合同，可以在JET项目中工作长达五年。
根据jetprogramusa.org的数据，在每年申请该项目的大约4,000至5,000名美国公民中，只有1,000至1,100人被选中参加JET项目。
“The JET Program is a very competitive and prestigious fully-funded program, which has a multi-step selection process,” said Irina McClellan, assistant director and study abroad and exchange student coordinator for vs上’s Center for International Programs. “It is an honor and hard work to be selected for the JET Program. Only the top candidates are selected, and preference is given to very independent, well-traveled students who are able to prove that they can step out of their comfort zone and adapt to the new environment and culture.”
在美高梅博彩求学期间，泰勒在日本学习了一年日语课程。 她说，正是因为有了在国外的经历，她才知道自己想在日本工作。
泰勒说，她相信参加美高梅博彩的日语课程以及由此获得的日语能力帮助她在越前市获得了工作机会。她说，在那里，有时懂日语是至关重要的。
泰勒是瓦尔多斯塔的雷纳和凯文·泰勒的女儿。
Potential JET Program participants must have a deep interest in Japanese culture and hold at least a bachelor’s degree. 该计划的助理语言教师不必说日语，但应致力于在该国之前和期间学习该语言。 助理语言教师优先考虑具有语言教师资格或有强烈动机学习英语作为外语教学。
国际关系协调员在日本政府办公室为国际化努力工作，需要有很强的日语能力。
McClellan advised students who are interested in applying to the JET Program in the future to “take every opportunity to meet and form friendships with international students on campus. Do as many things during your college career that can help you become a successful intercultural communicator and a problem solver.”
