That's the kind of thinking you'll want to stay away from.
While you won't be focusing on speaking Japanese while you teach, you'll be in Japan for a year. You'll want to at least learn the basics to survive, that way you won't need a Japanese person constantly by your side to translate things for you.
While being
fluent in Japanese may not need to be focused on, you should know the basics of it
at least.
