Lazy forum-speak or not, you make clear and consistent errors and use collocations that betray you as a non-native speaker of English and those won't fly with schools. You have to be more than 'good'; you'll need to be of a native-level, and meaning no offense, you don't seem to be quite there yet. By all means, show me if I'm wrong and I'll gladly take it back.

I'm really not saying any of this to be mean, these are simply industry standards. I'm an EFL teacher; I've worked with non-native speaking EFL teachers; generally if you have to make an effort to be correct, then your English isn't considered good enough to teach at much more than the basic level, and native speaking EFL teachers always get preference over you anyway. Moreover, employers want someone they can put equally with a class of elementary learners and a class of upper intermediates and know that what is being taught is accurate. This is particularly true in Japan where a lot of people work in several different schools at any given time, with different class levels and abilities.
