Abstract
Teaching assistantships were introduced to Japanese universities in 1992. It was suggested teaching assistantships be used for
educating graduate students to be good university faculty, with proficiency in teaching as well as excellence in research. However, teaching assistants have received less responsibility and less payment. This presentation will explain the current situation concerning teaching assistantships in Japan and show our attempt to establish a systematic training course of teaching assistants that fits the Japanese background.
