I was wondering what type of English is taught in Japan, British English or American English? I know that the US has an influence over Japan is some respects, but does this include the English taught in Japanese schools? Does it depend on the teacher or is there a set standard? Also, if I was to teach English in Japan, would my English (British) be different to what is taught by an American, Canadian or Australian. It is the spelling that most interests me about it, as American and British English differ on spelling grounds, whereas Canadian and Australian seem to be a mixture of the two, especially Canadian.
