This study investigates the self-reflections of 426 ALTs on the JET Programme in Japan regarding their own sense of purpose and value in EFL education. The results suggest that, whilst ALTs did feel a sense of contribution, they also felt as though they lacked chances to implement communicative teaching methods over the dominant grammar-based pedagogy. Suggestions to improve their role in the classroom are provided.
