Teaching English as as Second Language is a certification for teaching it anywhere English is common, so you can use it in the U.S. For teaching it in a country where it's not common, you need the "Teaching English as a Foreign Language" (TEFL) certification.
TESL certification programs are a great option if you are wanting to get into teaching in a foreign country. Lots of organizations can be found that will help you find a position in a county that you choose.

You can go through TESL Canada to get ESL certification. ESL teaching is an important skill to have and will allow you to travel to and workin in other countries or find work in your hometown.
There are a couple of challenges related to teaching English. For most people, they think they can teach English because they are native English speakers, however this notion is false. There is a reason why people go to school for teaching degrees. Teaching English means understanding how the English language works (lexical categories, syntax, etc.) and being able to teach it effectively and accurately. Take for example teaching grammar. Can you explain infinitives and gerunds? How about how to identify phrasal verbs versus prepositional phrases? If you get training (CELTA for example) or even receive your MA in TESL, this will help you understand how to teach English. Another challenge to teaching English can exist in the location of where you teach. I don't mean rural versus urbal communities, but teaching English abroad requires you to understand the culture and how the native language is used in teaching English. As a teacher in South Korea, I have learned nuances in Korean which have helped me explain vocabulary and reading to Korean students. I recommend if you wish to teach English, understand your surrounding and culture. It could really help with connecting with your students.

A friend went to a class for Teaching English as a Second Language and she told me that, during the class they teach you to think like the native speakers do. For example, teaching groups of people who grew up in poor, hot, desert areas, finding and preserving potable water would be very important to them and their society. They might now even know what 'snow' is or "Christmas" songs.There is a website that you can go to find out more info:www.TEFL.com (Teaching English as a Foreign Language)
