This paper aims at investigating what skills and knowledge should be evaluated in the employment examinations (first-stage written tests in particular) for Japanese secondary school teachers from the perspective of selecting quality teachers. To this end, an exploratory questionnaire was administered to 130 current Japanese secondary school English teachers who were asked to evaluate the Japanese and Korean employment examinations. Participants compared the English Teacher Employment Exams of both countries, noted what teaching knowledge and skills were emphasized, and commented on the gap between teacher qualities assessed in the exams and qualities needed in real-life classroom situations. They were also asked to comment on what skills and knowledge are required in teaching English and how to improve the Japanese exams and the present English teaching curriculum in universities. Interpretation of the Japanese teachers' evaluation of the two tests and their comments suggest that it is important to assess practical situated knowledge and skills in particular, and thus on the Japanese test, a big gap exists between examinations and classroom reality. In conclusion, other findings of skills and knowledge identified are also discussed and ways to improve the employment examinations are suggested.
