| I'm guessing you'd want to do everything you can to be selected through an interview, that would give you the opportunity to demonstrate your command of the English language. I don't know how the Japanese are about interviewing though. |

| This is going to seem harsh, but I count at least three serious grammatical errors in your post (and no I am not talking about things like 'ppl' or 'thankz', I mean bona fide errors). Are you actually qualified to teach English? |

I had the exact same reaction as waxwing. How will you pass interviews to teach English either in Japan or elsewhere if you are not able to demonstrate command of basic English grammar?
This doesnt mean the search to teach English abroad is hopeless, but in Japan they are pretty serious about being able to prove your grammar skills. China...Korea-wa? |

aside from the grammatical errors, a non-native speaker of English needs a university degree, 12 years of education taught in English, a reasonable command of English (native or near native fluency for a NNS) and be able to attend an interview. non-native speakers do teach in Japan but they teach their native languages as well as English. There is very little demand by students for learning Malaysian in Japan. |
