You definitely don't need to speak Japanese to teach English - in fact, many schools don't even want you speaking Japanese during the lessons at all (so the lesson is 100% English, even with beginners).

You could try JET, but you wouldn't be able to guarantee where he will be placed. JET puts you wherever they want, and more likely than not, a random rural location. Might be tough if you already have a job lined up.

A better option is just to look for jobs at a private company (at an eikaiwa or as an ALT). A lot of the big companies will sponsor visas and even offer interviews through Skype overseas (Aeon, Berlitz, GABA). The big companies tend to be known for taking advantage of their teachers, but a visa is a visa (and you can always quit the job if you don't like it, and keep the visa :P) I myself worked for Berlitz in Tokyo and loved it. You can also check out GaijinPot or OhayoSensei for job listings.

Oh my gosh, you are a lifesaver! I would not have known about these options and they sound fantastic. We'll look into them asap. Thank you so much, man. This is looking like it could be exactly the thing we need. ♥
