What if I have never taught English? Many English teachers in Japan have no experience teaching. For those interested, the ESL teaching certificate, which can be earn by successfully completing a two or three month course, provides training for the teacher and assurance of the skill and knowledge of the prospective teacher for the employer , but it is not necessary for most English teaching positions in Japan. Your greatest advantage is that you are a native English speaker. Your job will be to improve the student conversational ability by speaking to them.
