In order to teach in the United States you need to get a teaching certification. Most school districts will allow you to teach with a Bachelor's degree and no certification, but you have to pass a test. Most teachers in the US have chosen a degree program that is set towards teaching and includes student teaching, classes about teaching, and other key elements that are good to know when teaching a course (like how to create a syllabus).
Is English your primary language? Do you want to teach English as in teaching the language or English as in teaching about sentence structure and literature? What grade level?
