English Teacher Requirements in the United States – How to Teach English - http://bit.ly/eLoEUC

The TESOL Certification Blog: "It is said that English is the universal language. It is the official language of over 70 countries and the national language of the U.S. with over 96% of the population claiming to have the ability to speak English “well” or better. With that said, English is still a subject that is taught in US schools from Kindergarten through High School and there is always a demand for teachers who are qualified to teach English. English teacher requirements include paths to certification similar to that of other teachers. A bachelor’s degree and teaching certification is required if you plan on teaching at the elementary, middle, or secondary level. It is recommended that you choose a major in an English related field. For example, in Arizona and other states, many universities offer Secondary and Elementary Language Arts bachelor’s degree programs. Other possibilities include an Interdisciplinary Studies program with English as a major. You will find that many schools offer bridged degrees for hopeful teachers. If you are considering pursuing an English teaching position at a college or university, a doctorate degree in an English discipline is usually required unless you are applying at a two year school where candidates with only master’s degrees are also considered."
