I think it would be better for me to become fluent after living in japan for awhile, rather then study in states until i become fluent. i would have lot more chances of speaking Japanese more often in Japan.
i'm thinking about taking course for teaching english, i know i may not use what i learn, but i dont want to go there and no nothing about teaching and make a fool of self.
any recommended class?

Actually, Godwine raises a good point, have you thought about doing a teaching degree? Obviously it seems to be a little more difficult in Canada, but in the UK you can do a three-year, BA degree in teaching. Depending on what country you're in perhaps you could also do a teaching degree? The degree would enable you to get a visa, and the degree in teaching in specific would help you in your chosen career. I'm not sure, but I think there are also degrees in TEFL, but I could be wrong.
Anyways, if you want to do a TEFL course on its own, I'd recommend
Gap year travel, Volunteer abroad, TEFL Courses and more from i-to-i - due to computer troubles I can't load it to double-check, but it should still work and it's an accreditated company. It has a variety of classes - both online and in person - to suit the individual's needs.
Bear in mind, if you do a TEFL class a
lot of employer's prefer you to have at least a 100 course, and face-to-face experience in a classroom, but - in all fairness - any certificate is better than no certificate.
