How to Teach English as a foreign lanuage... I am considering to teach English as a foreign language. There is a problem... I do not know where to start. For example, are there certain course books to buy that will help me with teaching methods? I am very interested in teaching. Can somebody give me some advice?

Thank you Adam and Savannah. I will definitely look into colleges, and of course TEFL. Time to research.

I'd suggest starting with TEFL certification, since this is required for just about all ESL teaching positions. Personally, I started by finding a specific opportunity I was interested in and then doing the TEFL certification to satisfy the application requirement. However, if you are not yet sure where to start I think taking your time on a TEFL program could give some insight. There are so many that can be done online or even in a short stint in a foreign country for some hands on training/practice. This will let you get more comfortable with teaching methods and possibly give you an idea of what direction you want to go in. I know there are so many TEFL programs but I think with a little research you can find a good one that fits your needs, I think most important is what you make of it, not just finding the "best" program. Hope that helps!

I am also looking into the same thing. There are many online degrees and programs, or at community colleges or universities that offer education with ESL.
