Hello Everyone,

I am currently enrolled in a graduate program at the University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Journalism.  I am a write and a lover of the English language. However, lately I've been thinking more and more about getting into ESL. I lived in Paris for 2 years and taught English there. That was the best job I ever had. I envision myself teaching adults. Of course, I know without a degree in this country it is virtually impossible to teach. While I'm currently in Los Angeles, I plan to return to my native D.C. in another year or so. I had looked into an ESL teaching certificate program at American University. My question is when it comes to education, would a certificate (not a Master's) be enough for me to get started in this field?

Sincerely,
Jacqueline Smith
