silverscreencigarettes asked: I am about to major in German and ideally, I really want to teach English as a second language to German-speaking kids over in Europe (I live in the US now.) What are the requirements for becoming a teacher in Europe? (Switzerland is preferably where I want to live, but I love Germany also!) Thank you so much for this blog!
I cannot speak for Europe. But in Germany you have to have a university degree. There are specific degree programs for people who want to become teachers at official schools where you have to pass two State Examinations. Usually it’s a combination of the subjects you want to teach + didactis and educational studies. You also have to have practical experience (internships etc.). I don’t know about private schools or specific language schools.
I found this link with some helpful information, too.
