To become an English teacher, you typically need a Bachelor of Secondary Education with a major in English. You might also want to consider taking international English proficiency tests like the IELTS, TOEFL, or TOEIC to demonstrate your language skills. These tests can help you improve your proficiency and show potential employers your level of English. If you want to further your education, you can pursue a Master of Arts in Teaching English as a Second Language (TESOL) or a Master of Education with a specialization in English Language Teaching. So, you'll need to complete a four-year bachelor's degree and potentially a two-year master's degree.

They mention the Bachelor of Secondary Education, international English proficiency tests, and the possibility of pursuing a Master's degree. However, the answer could be more concise and organized.

Fluency & Coherence
