Abstract
This paper examines and analyzes the motivations of trainees participating in the Japanese Teacher Training Program, which began in July 2022. The program aims to train teachers on how to teach Japanese at public secondary schools in the Philippines. The results of the analysis revealed that there are differences in the trainees' motivations for participating in the training, depending on the region in which they are located and the main subject that they teach in their schools. The analyzed results will be used to review training content and support for the participants.
