How can I get credentials for teaching English to the speakers of other languages?
lucin asked:
I have a master degree in Teaching English to the speakers of other languages which I got in another country. I evaluated it and I recieved an USA equivalent. Now, my quesiton is how can I know what I need to become a teacher. In fact, I would like to work with adults and let’s say to start my work with non-credit courses in local community colleges. What should I do to get my credentials?
I would appreciate if anybody could help me.
Thank you

If you are going to work at the community college level, your masters is all you need to get in. There is no specific ESL credential other than what you already have. For working with non-credit courses, you wouldn’t even need that much.
I suggest you just look at the websites of some community colleges and check under “employment opportunities.” That will make you feel better. The link below is representative of what you will find. Linda A
