You could apply for positions as a language assistant through the British Coucil (www.britishcouncil.org) at English schools.  They run well established teaching assistanship programmes all over the world as well as in the UK.  I took part in a similar exchange as an English teaching assistant in Germany without any teaching qualifications.  Good luck!

Most schools in the United States require you to be certified to teach a certain subject as well as a grade level.  In order to obtain this certification, you must first decide which state you would like to teach in and take that state's required test.  For example, some state require a test called the Praxis, while mine requires the "Texes".  Sometimes there may be more than one test required.  Start by contacting a major city's school district/system and ask for their requirements in your situation, and go from there.  Good luck!

Each state is different.  I teach in Texas and there are dual qualifying tests. One of the tests is pedagogical and the other is content area based.  I teach Secondary American literature and British Literature, but your certification areas vary.  you could choose an English Language Arts and Reading Certificate like mine, which would allow you to teach grade levels 8-12 or you could do4-8 or a general educator certificate 4-8, or Early Childhood through 4.

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.

You will have to get a four year degree with a major in Spanish if you want to teach at a public school. You might be able to test out of some of your required Spanish classes, and if you've already got a degree you can often get alot of your other credits covered. You will also have to take a few extra classes to get your Spanish teaching cert. I'd suggest you go for an ESL cert too. Call around and find a college near you with an Ed program and find out what their requirements are. \n\nYou might be able to volunteer or work for various community organizations, sometimes towns, counties, vocational training centers, etc. offer Spanish classes without the requirements the public schools have, so you can try calling them.

It depends on what you want to teach.  If you want to be an English professor, major in English and get at least a Masters Degree, preferably a PhD.  Same for any other subject.

Teach English as a second language. You get to work with language everyday as well as be exposed to different cultures of the world. Since so many countries need teachers, you will never run out of different languages to learn or places to explore.

Every state has their own requirements for getting a teaching certificate.  The most common method is through a bachelor's degree from an accredited university.  That is the most widely accepted requirement for being hired by most school districts as well.\n\nSome states have alternative programs for getting a certificate.  Areas with teacher shortages will have more options.  Usually these alternative programs are meant to help out the districts with the biggest teacher shortage problems (which are often the least desireable school districts to work in).  \n\nFor more information, try searching for your state's department of education web page.  They will describe the process through something like "routes to liscensing," or "alternative credentialing," or some similar phrasing.\n\nEven with alternative options, the most thorough and professional way to get a certificate is through college.  That will also be how most districts base your sallary -- the number of credits you have.  College is the best option -- try it -- you may really like it!

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.
