The purpose of this study is to understand how the presence of support networks affects skill development among Japanese English teachers. An online survey, consisting of 21 questions, was conducted from the beginning of July to the end of August 2019. 197 English teachers, from all over Japan, with various degrees of experience participated in the study. Among these were teachers from elementary school, junior high school and high school. The survey took into account each teacher’s workplace, school type, and job classification, their individual English proficiency, English teaching skills, and their capacity to partake in on the job teacher training. Data on age and gender were also recorded. The results show that, the more teaching experience an English teacher has, the greater their ability to teach becomes. There is a positive correlation between English teaching experience and English teaching ability. On the other hand, we found that overall English language abilities did not improve accordingly. The survey suggested that, new teachers who have access to guidance from experienced English teachers, whether at their schools or outside, displayed greater teaching ability than those without such support. However, the same was not true for veteran teachers. According to the findings from this study, it seems that collaboration among English teachers should be encouraged, in order to provide practical and social support for novice teachers. Also, it would be useful for English teachers to have access to reliable individuals who are readily available to advise novices thus allowing them to improve their lessons in real-time.
