A full blood count measures the number of red cells, white cells and platelets in your blood. Red cells carry oxygen around our bodies. Haemoglobin is the part of the red cell that carries the oxygen. If you have a low red cell count, your doctor may say you are anaemic (pronounced a-nee-mic).
ETJ is a grass-roots organization for teachers around Japan that is dependent on a lot of individual teachers putting in a little time in many different ways. In fact, it is primarily aimed at the classroom teacher who is only able or prepared to put a limited amount of time into ETJ.
Most ETJ-related projects are run independently by volunteers and some are run by Language Teaching Professionals. In effect, ETJ is a confederation of different groups that form a friendly community and, when necessary, come together to establish the minimum necessary general policies that all groups follow.
