It depends what kind of teacher you become. If you are a maths teacher, for example, where is the need to teach another language? If you wanted to learn a second language then you could of course. All though in some circumstances it MAY be required.
Understanding how we most naturally learn language (how we learned our first language) helps understand the nature of language learning. The more you can mimic this process in teaching a second language, the better.It also helps the teacher understand ways learning a second language is unlike learning one's first.
An ESL teacher is a teacher who teaches English as a secondary language.
Students whose Native language isn't English.
First a command of language, you questions should read:- "What skills do I need to develop to become a teacher" I appreciate that English may not be your first language but to be a teacher the primary skill needed is an ability to communicate and the second skill needed is an efficiency in the subject you are teaching. It is no good if what you teach is wrong or if your students can not follow what you are trying to communicate to them.
Because it is our second language :)

Yes, aptitude can play a role in second language learning as it can affect how quickly and easily someone picks up a new language. However, motivation, exposure to the language, and the learning environment also play important roles in second language acquisition.
That depends on each country and state. It also depends of the level you want to teach. Teaching English abroad as a second language requires sometimes less qualifications than teaching English language in an English speaking country.
In the USA our spanish teacher just told me SL
Adults can become proficient in a second language by consistently practicing speaking, reading, writing, and listening in the target language. Immersion experiences, language classes, language exchange partners, and using language learning apps can all be helpful in improving proficiency. Consistent effort and dedication to learning the language are key factors in achieving fluency.
People may use their second language for various reasons such as communication with people who speak that language, travel to countries where it is spoken, job opportunities that require proficiency in that language, or personal interest in learning new languages.
If you would like to teach English as a second language it helps if you have a qualification such as the TEFL certificate. If you are an inexperienced teacher you can expect to earn about $5.00 per hour teaching English as a second language.
