Opportunity overview
The Tokyo Global Gateway (TGG) facility provides students from Tokyo and around Japan with the opportunity to experience speaking English in daily life situations, such as checking into a hotel, ordering at a restaurant or travelling overseas. It also includes programs that focus on science and technology, business, international contribution and international exchange.
Located in downtown Odaiba, the Queensland Classroom Program is a dedicated room that sits within the TGG facility and provides students with the experience of learning in a real Queensland classroom as part of their visit.
Two Queensland teachers per intake will travel to TGG for up to 12 weeks. They are required to develop and deliver lessons to local Japanese students with a focus on science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics, showcasing inquiry-based and hands-on learning.
As the TGG is an English only facility, Japanese language speaking ability is not a requirement to participate in the program.
For more information, visit the
Tokyo Global Gateway website.
To support Queensland teachers to consider if this is the right opportunity for them, Global Engagement will be holding an online information session conducted via Microsoft Teams on
Wednesday 24 July 2024 from 3.30–4.00pm. Please
join the session via Teams or contact Global Engagement, Department of Education International on
