What you teach

They can (and do) read technical material about your field in textbooks. Anyway, nearly all foreign teachers are teaching English–conversation, writing, literature, etc. Your students have studied English for about 7 or 8 years, on average, yet they can barely speak the language. They have learned everything from textbooks. They may know English grammar better than you do. They have always had Chinese English teachers who can barely speak English themselves.

Qualifications:
A lot of conversation schools, public schools and universities only ask for a post-secondary degree. You should be a native English speaker. Some school positions, especially international school teachers and university professors, require a teaching certificate or advanced degrees. Many other schools do not required teaching certificates. Schools, however, will generally favor those with more qualifications and experience than those without.
