taking a teaching course is necessary for me , because there a lot i need to brush up on and to see if i would enjoy teaching or not. i don't want to go to Japan and start hating the hole teaching thing, strange i know, its just i want to be sure that i could do it.

I am glad you see teaching as something other than flipping burgers or digging folding t-shirts. Teaching is NOT for everyone, but for some reason it has been presented as a "gateway" job for living in Japan. This isn't the fault of the recruits, but is the reason English teachers in Japan do often get a poor reputation. People are told anyone can do it, but then when they get to Japan they realize it is real work. For those that love it, it can be invigorating, but for those that don't, it can be torture.
