Dear Hiring Manager,

As a Japanese Teacher with 6 years of experience in public and private school settings, I apply with enthusiasm for the above opportunity. 

I am currently the Japanese Teacher at Sunnybank Senior School in Florida, where I am accountable for a broad range of planning, preparation, classroom environment, and instruction responsibilities. These include designing lessons and assessments, participating in curriculum development/reviews, academic oversight of student performance, and strengthening student and parent communications.

I incorporate educational technology in designing Japanese learning experiences, formative assessment tasks, and to increase student engagement. I strongly believe that when learning is fun, students learn more and approach their language education with greater enthusiasm. 

In addition to my experience and bilingual fluency in Japanese, I hold an MA in Japanese Language Education and a Teaching Japanese as a Foreign Language Certificate. I am committed to continual professional development, as demonstrated in my CV. 

My current role is very stimulating, and I find great fulfilment in such a wonderful environment. My decision to seek a new position is solely based on our family’s decision to relocate. As such, I aspire to a similarly amazing opportunity where I may make a meaningful contribution to the Japanese language program. After researching your school in detail, I feel confident about our mutual fit.

Please find attached my curriculum vitae for your consideration. Thank you very much for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you regarding my application.

Yours sincerely,

Sue Chang
