LATEM Association

LATEM Association is a community of committed teachers, administrators and organizations involved with teaching English in Japan from the preschool and elementary school level all the way to junior high, high school, university and adults. It is a teacher-support network and idea pool that has officially served the English teaching community of Japan since 1996. It was founded by Helene Jarmol Uchida, a veteran English teacher from New York who believes that "kokoro" is missing in Japan's English education system.
