I want to teach English in Japan in the future and one of the requirements is that you must be a native speaker... The thing is, I am from the Philippines (I now live in the USA) and received my first 12 years of education back there and I am currently in college here in the USA. The Philippines is not considered an English speaking country (at least in the "native language" point of view)... Our official languages are Tagalog and English and I have been educated in English my whole life. The funny thing is, all my classes back then were taught in English except for the Filipino language class and I was raised in an English speaking household so I consider myself a native speaker! So will my coming from and being educated in the Philippines stop me from getting a teaching position after I graduate from college? Thanks!
