To teach within the public school system in the United States at the pre-K through high school levels, you must have a bachelor's degree in a teacher education program from a regionally accredited college or university and state teacher certification. This would take approximately four years to complete as a full-time student, provided you take the program as prescribed by the college or university.

What subjects do you need to become an English teacher and where should I study to be one?
Teachers at the elementary and secondary level have a minimum of a bachelors degree. Typically the bachelors degree would be in the field the teacher will be teaching (English in this case), though it is advisable to also take courses in education and classroom management. To teach in most public elementary and secondary schools you will also need a teaching certificate, which requires taking education classes (but can be completed at the same time along with a bachelors degree). To teach English at a college level, you would need a PhD. Any college offering both an English major and some sort of education classes or teacher training program would be an appropriate place to study to become an English teacher.

In order to obtain a certificate in teaching, you will need to complete the degree. There are some accelerated programs, where they hire you but you only have a year to complete coursework and pass the state test. Otherwise, there is always being a substitute teacher, but that has no benefits and pays less. Therefore, if you want to work as a teacher, the straightforward way--getting the degree and certification--is probably the shortest way to go.
