Do I Need Degree To Teach English?

New flyer here. I am responding to this question because I find it interesting for several reasons. I am thinking of doing an online tefl, tesl, certesl.. and on with said research into subject turning up several contradictions as to what is/is not required and the range of prices involved. I spent ten years in Europe as a performance artist and, with a background in French, was asked to teach French and art at a Montessori school in Toronto, Canada. Having a 'performance' background made it easier, but I also enrolled in a teacher training course at UBC in Vancouver, BC. 'A' certificate is a key that may open a door. Once inside, it is up to your presentation. I concur with the notion that speaking the language is a 1st priority as it is a key of sorts, removing barriers to communication.

The grammar and structural format aid in long-distance chats.. advice, and the use of poetry.

I shall stop here and say..talk on!

Sorry about that. In my haste, I'd forgotten to paste the link...
