Moi FCH begree holder in engrish riterature, so definitely hab the qualifications to be classified as native level engrish speaker. Don't think need jippunese proficiency to become engrish teacher there? Am sure many of the amdks teaching engrish there don't possess jippunese proficiency?

Your spoken English must be clean and clear. Otherwise, you can forget about it. And even if you get in, remember you are a gaijin (foreigner) so there will be a glass ceiling for you.

i know 2 person who taught eng in japan. one is career eng teacher who is still there.

i think pay is like 3-4k sgd. lifestyle is good. maybe can save 1-2k sgd i guess?

but teaching english frankly requires at least 1-2 years of experience to be good at it.

career wise not much room to climb up (maybe u can get up to 10-12k max in international schools later on) but it's a lifestyle choice.

Moi hab the qualifications to prove moi native speaker level of engrish :o
It doesn’t matter.

Just watch the tons of YouTube videos of

Asian Americans and even Afro Americans saying

That they were ostracised in Japan for not being

Native speakers even though they have genuine certs and

Scores higher than those white dudes.
