Judging from the quality of the English in his post, the OP should be grateful that any school would offer him a teaching position.

There are no "great" teaching positions available in Japan; they range from "poor" to "mediocre". If the OP wants to teach in Japan, he should accept the offer from JALSS; the spelling and grammar errors contained in his post would immediately disqualify him from working at any reputable school. After a year or so at JALSS he might learn enough about English to teach it competently.

If you apply at a place like AEON (typical eikaiwa), you will have to submit a 750 word essay. Any more than three mistakes in spelling, grammar, or punctuation, the essay goes in the bin, and you will not be considered for an interview. Other schools (reputable ones) will grade your cover letter in the same way, and then look for mistakes in your grammar during the personal interview.

You need to learn to speak English before you begin to teach it.
