It depends on which situation you want to teach in. Most private schools for adults accept a TEFL or CELTA certificate. Colleges require a Master’s Degree in teaching ESL.

I hope all of the comments on this page actually came from a group of students, and at best could be Intermediate level. None of those who claimed to be long-standing teachers of Engllish really could be with all those terrible mistakes! If they are, it might explain why when I get the students, they say things like, “I speak very well English!” or “I want to ameliorate my English.” Oh dear.

To those who wish to become English teachers. Please do a degree or post graduate degree in Language construction. This gives an understanding of basic grammar, sentence structure, word order and rules of writing and speaking. Without this, English language teachers often make the unforgivable errors displayed above. Just because one has a degree in English or can speak the language well is not sufficient training to teach the language. English is a complex language and I am constantly trying to overcome language issues in students who have learned from teachers with ‘English’ degrees, and are unaware of their limitations. If you don’t understand English construction and its plethora of rules, being able to read and write English will only serve you to teach the very low level student. An English language teacher needs more than the ability to write and speak English in order to teach it properly.
hi, i want become a English teacher but i have communication problem. can u help me please…………..
Hi, I am teaching in college for the past 11yrs and would like to be an online teacher who specializes in spoken english and grammar . I also train for soft skills and IELTS.
I’ve read some of the comments and inquiries by those interested in teaching the english language. I’d like to say, in all respect, that before you even think so, to better your english first. I mean what english can you teach when you need to work on it yourself.
Totally agree with some of the comments, I would like to be a wonderful teacher and I recognize I am a toddler yet, even if I am almost in my 50s, I will do it!
Finally I am become perfect in talking English so finally now time to teach student others how to talk English. I will become ESL teacher and make money. ESL is a good job for me today. Thanks for very well links.
