Foreign English proficiency is required for FAA ATPL?

Hi guys,

Now I am planing to enroll a course for FAA ATP/CTP and A320 type rating in U.S.
I have a question about obtain FAA ATPL based on foreign license.

I hold Japanese CPL(ME), IR, 1st class medical right now, but I don't have English proficiency yet.
So, my questions is do I need a Foreign English proficiency when I obtain a FAA ATPL?

Refer to FAR Sec. 61.153 (d)(3)(ii), foreign license holder who wants to obtain FAA ATPL is required have a license which contains no geographical limitations.
ttp://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgFar.nsf/FARSBySectLookup/61.153

Does anyone know this "contains no geographical limitations" provision means that Foreign English proficiency is required or not.

Please help.
