Yeah, I didn't realize how far ahead South Korea was above Japan, although I can see why from my own experience as well as the kinds of English education policies they have. But Japan is really low, here is a good book on English in Japan that might provide some answers, http://www.amazon.com/Idea-English-Japan-Ideology-Evolution/dp/184769201X#reader_184769201X
The Japanese's biggest problem is trying to spell/ sound out everything using katakana. English has way more sounds than katakana can sound out; especially our consonant blends. The teaching is crappy! The teachers can't have no idea or pronoun antecedents---big problem!!!
Kudos! English education in Japan is horrible! , I just had a teacher, last year, tell me"It's easier to teach them bad grammar than doing it properly--time-consuming." WTF!!!
