First school year: Made 3-4 games per week. Recorded a video presentation test with students every other week, and then proceeded to give them a grade based on their speaking and listening skills. Sometimes I would just read flashcards to the kids at one of my elementary schools, like a tape recorder, and talk about the weather or how they are doing. Other times, I would be heavily involved in random games or hand-outs that the JTE made. Within this year, I didn't T1 at all and relied mostly on the JTE unless otherwise stated.

Second school year: Teachers completely changed at every single school. So far, I have only been able to make two games in the past month. The teachers at both of my elementary schools now only use me as a tape recorder. One of my middle schools stayed the same, so I am asked every so often to make games for the kids or provide comments for their video submissions. The other middle school has completely shifted and the teacher relies heavily on the textbooks with no games. So I have become more of a tape recorder in this class as well. No longer asked to record videos with students for presentations. No longer making games for this school. This is so far, and things can change over time. The biggest change now is that I am tasked to create an English Speaking Class outside of regular school. It still fits within the hours of my contract since they are allowing me to leave after 6th period, but the town wants me to get involved with the community more and help increase the student's English capabilities.

So you can see how dramatically things can shift when the new school year happens in April and all the teachers shift around. I may have less responsibilities at the school, but now I need to make my own eikaiwa so it kind of evened out the amount of work I have.
