There's a possibility that more and more students who feel they aren't good at the subject will turn away from English.

Aren't we talking about schools?? Not sure about the translation into Japanese but in English, a 'school' is a place where people who don't know, go to learn. Yes i know, its a bizarre thought!!! People could actually learn!!!

sounds to me like this "teacher" is the one threatened by haveing to actually learn English

Did he/she make that statement in English or not? How many Japanese English teachers can actually speak English? I had a number of students who's English was far more advanced than their teachers and they were ignored and resented for it. Sad.
