As for the English portion, I was asked various things, like my top three favorite authors, what I would do in a class of rowdy students, how I might react to the workplace culture of socializing by going out and drinking, etc. They want to see how you'll fit in and adapt to a new culture. Be open minded.
Can you introduce yourself in Japanese?
The hardest question I was asked was, in Japanese, "why do you like Judo?" It had come up that I practice Judo and they were testing my Japanese. I wasn't really sure how to answer, so I just stood there for a minute and the interviewer then repeated the question in English. It wasn't that I misunderstood the question, I just didn't know how to answer it. Even in English, it's a hard question!
There wasn't really any difficult questions. It was a regular interview and hopefully if you didn't lie on the resume you should be fine and know how to handle it.
What is expected of you as a teacher? How does a teacher become involved in the community? What would make you a good teacher?
I honestly couldn't remember anything in particular. All very standard interview questions. They probably would accept any sane person with a college degree. I'm sure they asked me about how I work with a team at one point.
They will surely ask you situational questions about teaching and intercultural exchange.
Could you demonstrate how you would teach children struggling with English?
What are your goals (outside of work) for when you are in Japan?
How would your past experience studying abroad assist you in this position?
