I couldn't find licensure information. Try the link below. It is the CT state site for licensure. It's linked on the CT state Department of Education website (also below).\n\nCheck with your district Human Resources person. He or she may have further information. Good luck!

Lots of colleges and universities offer teacher certification programs. Just about all of them do. Call up the local universities, ask for admissions, and they will let you know if they do or not.\n\nIf you plan to be a teacher, start paying more attention in your English classes to spelling, grammar, punctuation and capitalization.

Try googling it with:  VALENCIA, ESL, "ENGLISH TEACHER", etc.\n\nYou can also contact International House in Barcelona or Hyland Language Centre in Madrid.  These are ESL training facilities where students receive certification at the highest level: the CELTA degree.\n\nAdemas, puedes poner un anuncio en un tablon de anuncios.\nSuerte!

Yeah look online. You can take a quick one month course to get TEFL certified.\n\nCELTA is generally accepted as the best. Look it up online.

Your question is difficult to answer because each state within the United States has different accreditation requirements for its teachers. You must have certification from the state. If you already have a bachelor's degree you can apply for alternative certification and after completing the course you can start your career. Of course, if you have your master's degree or more you can try teaching at the collegiate level by applying at different universities. Here is a site I think might be useful to you. Good luck!

That last part helped a lot, because I think different states do different things. Try this link:\n\nhttp://www.state.ct.us/sde/deps/adult/ged/

Certificates are key in ESL teaching. The one offered by St. giles is highly respected and will get you in. I believe its the CERTA Certificate or something like that. If you want to teach in Europe, you'll definately need one. Asia, (somewhat) elsewhere they are usually just stoked you're interested in teaching ESL.

If you are in the United States, you need to do the following:\n\n1. Earn a Bachelor's Degree in Education, with your specialization as Elementary. If you are interested in becoming an art teacher, your specialization would be Art, or you could extend your program and have two specializations. This includes coursework, field observations, practicums, and student teaching.\n\n2. Pass state professional competency exams in basic skills, general knowledge, professional knowledge, and your area(s) of speciality.\n\n3. Pass local, state, and federal background checks.\n\n4. Obtain a state license (your teacher prep program will help you get everything done for that).\n\nI would also recommend that while you get your degree, you work as a substitute teacher as soon as you  have enough college credits to qualify for hire. You can sub different grade levels and get a real feel for what level you like best, and it builds your resume.\n\nVolunteer teach kids' art classes at your local library, museums, and/or community college to gain additional experience and build your resume.

I suggest asking on the website below.  It's full of ESL experts.  Also, a Yahoo search for "ESL Agencies" comes up with roughly 50/50 teacher and student placement agencies.

If your daughter wants to teach english, go to Dave's ESL cafe.  There are usually a few hundred job openings for positions mostly in English language institutes, and a few businesses and universities.  I got my university job through the site.  \n\nDave's ESL :  www.eslcafe.com

First, prepare all necessary documents that may be required - CV, transcript, certification to teach (required by some), certification in using the english language (required by some).\n\nSecond, check embassies and university websites regarding entry to the country and job vacancies. (Check your documents and what you have against their specific requirements and try to comply).\n\nThird, formal application.

Go to the department of education for your state and look up the requirements.  With a master's, you can teach at a community college.  \n\nIf you want to teach K-12 you need a teaching credential.  If you didn't major in education and want to teach, you can do an Alternative Teaching Certificate Program.  These are acclerated programs for working adults, they give you all the coursework you need to become certified.  You can also do that kind of program through your school district IF you are hired for a teaching job.  You can't do it through your district unless you are hired.  \n\nIt's a confusing process, isn't it?  Start with your DOE website, though.  Good luck!

You generally need to have a Master's degree in the subject you wish to teach - whether you are an on-ground or online instructor. This did not used to be the case, but as with all careers, there is more competition these days. \n\nI went back to school to get a Master's in Adult Education and Distance learning, in part because I wanted to be an online instructor. You would think this would qualify me - but I was wrong! \n\nUnfortunately, the competition in my state (Oregon) is fierce - even at the community college level - and they won't even look at your application unless you have a Master's degree in the field you wish to teach (I wanted to teach English Comp 101 because I have been a professional writer for 20 years, but they wouldn't even consider me because my Master's wasn't in English). \n\nThey say it's because it would put their accrediation status at risk - BUT I know in Texas, the demand for instructors is greater and they are more lenient and they will take people with a variety of skills, not JUST the degree requirement.\n\nI would strongly suggest contacting your local community college about their qualifications for teaching online, as they vary by state.

talk to a advising counselor at the college you're going to go to. they will know your options and whether or not you'll be able to get a teaching degree from a community college. you might have to start out there and transfer to a university in case schools in your district do not accept AA degrees.\n\nas far as classes go, start taking literature classes, english classes, anything to do with writing or reading. you might want to get your math over with too, because you'll probably have at least one math course even though you want to teach english.

Contact the schools that train teachers.  I would start with the International House network- contact the schools that train CELTA students.  Make sure your school is a good place to work or else your reputation will be ruined really quickly!  Everyone in the ESL world knows which schools have bad working conditions and bad salaries!

If you want to work as a teacher or a sub in any CA school, you have to take the CBEST.\n\nIf you have a teaching credential in another state, you need to check and see if CA has a reciprocal program.\n\nHere's the credentialing site:\n\nhttp://www.ctc.ca.gov/
