Liscensure is not reciprocal. However you should be able to get liscensed in any state with proper and accreditted credentials. You'll probably need specific grade endorsements as well.

Our system is different than the nationalized system utilized in many nations around the world. Our national Dept. of Education actually has little power. The individual states' Dept. of Education regulate qualifications for teachers. So one person who is qualified in New York may not qualify in California. You need to contact the State Dept. of Education in the state you live in (are moving to) or the local school system you are interested in.

You can teach a language using only that language, using pictures and acting.\n\nESL teachers teach English in a country where English is a native language.\n\nEFL teachers teach English where English is NOT a native language.\n\nThey require slightly different skills.

Each state deparment of education has a website.  Each state has different requirements for teachers and for which subjects there is a need for teachers.  Generally needed is a bachelor's degree with a prescribed number of education courses, student teaching experience, a teacher's license from that state (each state is different and they generally don't recepricate).  An exam is usually required to get a teaching license.  Contact the state department of education for any state that interests you and see if there is a need for ESL (also known as TEFL, ENL, teacher of ELL (English language learners) etc.\nI know that ESL teachers have several listservs--you might google ESL and see if you can find one.  I'm sure they can answer your question better than I can.  There is not much of a need for teachers of English to speakers of English--in fact, there is more of a glut on the market.

You need to get in touch with the Sate Board of Education for the state that she wants to teach in .  It will vary by each state...It's not a nationl thing.

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.

Yes.  Depends on the state.  In my state (NC), they have an accelerated program that can get you teaching after 1 summer of courses.  Of course, you need to continue your education.  \n\nI'd begin by looking at the state education department websites for the states in which you'd be willing to teach.

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.

In my experience you need an English major to be an English professor.  An education degree probably won't make any difference.   I suspect the program you are describing prepares students to work in the faculty of Education, not English.

The thing is about online and other distance degree programs is that if they are accredited (there is a board for state as well as federal accredidation) then you can use the degree(s) you get to move up in a job, apply for a job that requires a certain degree, etc. What you cannot do is teach with it. That's a whole other ball of yarn. To teach at a University or college in the U.S. you need to have graduated from a degree program at a recognized University or college. Now it gets confusing with teaching credentials for K-12 teaching. You need to check with your state on the requirements, but most want a four year degree from a recognized AND accredited University or college and added to that they have othr requirments. Here in California it's called a 5th year, and then you have to take two tests BEFORE you can go into the classroom.\n\nSo to answer your question of should you take the class...sure, but it won't serve any purpose if you want to teach. Credits also won't be applicable to colleges or Universities. BUT, if you want to better yourself, or enhance your work resume, then absolutely!

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.

I have a good friend with that degree from the University of Hawaii.  He's been teaching English at a school in Japan for the past 22 years and loves it!

I'm a teacher in CA, and unfortunately, CA does not have reciprocity with most states.  In other words, you will have to move here and go through the teacher ed program again.\n\nIf you have any background in special ed or secondary math and science, you can probably get an emergency credential and work while you are completing the program through night classes.  These are the areas where teachers are most in demand.

Nope. Teachers from a different country doesn’t know the target country’s culture. What you say may work in case of scientific subjects, but if a teacher knows so well a langauge and his/her profession as well, he/she would get a good salary at home, so why go to the target country?

It depends on the qualifications wanted by the school where you want to teach.\n\nSome schools in non-English-speaking countries don't require special qualifications.  These schools often just hire native speakers as teachers.  These schools are also not very reputable.  In particular, make sure that you never give them your passport!  Some schools actually hold their teachers' passports as a way to try to keep them longer.\n\nOther, more reputable programs will require you to have a special certification for teaching English, like a master's degree in TESOL/TESL/TEFL or a TESOL certificate.  Check with your university's department of linguistics or department of education to see what kinds of qualifications they offer.  For example, my university offers a TESOL certificate program of about a year of coursework, which can be done in conjunction with a bachelor's or master's degree.\n\nIn addition, for non-native speakers, they might have a requirement to verify your proficiency in English, like a TOEFL score.

At any Adult Education place. Depending on where you live. I know where they are in my area, but I don't know what country you're from.

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!
