Every single problem other fields are seeing, we saw first because we were deemed most expendable. Machine TL hallucinated. They said it'd make us more productive, not redundant. And more offers became about training and correcting. Loc has always been the canary and not enough people listened.

Yeah, it really depends on the Board of Education (both prefecture and local), school, and even individual teachers. Like since 2020, both MEXT and Chiba BOE have been pushing for curriculum that lets students use English to express themselves. A lot of teachers haven't updated their lessons though

Same. That's why I'm here and not trying to talk to those teachers about it haha
