Most quality certificate programs will take you about a year to complete if you already have your bachelor's degree.  You can search for schools that offer a TEFL or TESOL certificate.  (TESOL = teaching English to speakers of other languages)  Actually, you can probably get a job teaching English in another country right now, but you don't necessarily want to work for places that would hire people without a certificate.  Plus, as an English major, you most likely didn't learn the English linguistics or teaching skills necessary to teach English to non-native speakers.\n\nWhether you have fun, of course, is up to you and is probably dependent on whether TESOL/TEFL is really a good fit for you.\n\nWelcome to the English language teaching profession!

You could try Peace Corps. You don't have to be right out of college to do it, and it's a real adventure. A lot of people get international jobs as a result of their volunteer service, especially if you learn another language fluently. \n\nSince you are a communications person, you also have a very marketable skill: writing. If you're out there and can write, someone will pick you up.\n\nThe best thing is that you meet a lot of like-minded people and make friends for life.

Usually, a teacher of English has a master's degree in English literature from an English or American university. In some cases, a scholar with only a bachelor's degree in English might be hired, but this would be very rare. For teachers of foreign languages, a bachelors degree or, preferably, a master's degree in the foreign language is required. It is not necessary to be a native speaker of the language, although being bilingual is an advantage. Community colleges seek to hire individuals who are excellent teachers, meaning that if you can demonstrate the ability to communicate well to students, to establish a rapport with others, and to teach, then you will have an advantage in applying for a position. Research is normally not a part of the job description of community college professors. The emphasis is on teaching.

You are studying English? Too funny. If you improve greatly, maybe you could teach it or work for a publisher of books or magazines. You might be able to get a job as an editor. But you need much more hard work and study before you are ready for any of that.

Most people with that degree stick with the social work field.  But, you can do anything that interacts with people.  For example, you can use your "people skills" degree for a customer service career....like in hotels or the travel industry.  \n\nPerhaps, continue education, then you can teach either subject, be a school counselor or keep going and get Phd and be a therapist.

Watch English TV shows (or DVDs) and listen to English radio stations. This will help you see how English is used in everyday life instead of just the proper stuff that they teach you in school.

First I would suggest you learn the language before you attempt to teach it. You did not capitalize "English," and you misspelled specialization. Further, you need to be qualified through study. Since you did not major in English, you shouldn't seek a job teaching it. You are setting yourself up to fail, and your students will not benefit from your work. Think about it!!

I teach Community Education courses through our local college. My courses range from "Writing For Fun & Profit" to more technical courses on Business & Grant Proposal Writing.\n\nI also do a load of freelance research and writing for others (helping students, grants, business plans, articles, etc.)\n\nAmazing what you can do with these new fangled machines called computers.

What can you actually do?  Having a degree is nice, but what skills do you have?  What's your job experience.  Obviously your command of English is, to be blunt, only marginal, so that would be a liability.  You might want to improve that if you're looking for a job that requires you to use English daily.
