Question

Do I need a degree to move from USA to Viet Nam and teach English?

Answer 1

just gimme a call in case u need help...

Answer 2

Yes you do need a degree or some sort of certification in order to TEACH in school. Unless you do some PRIVATE tutor :) eheheh... I know a couple guyz, who are frm Chicago n teach in VN right now..

Answer 3

DUH.......of course......

Answer 4

No, you can wing it merely having a certificate, but if you want to secure a "serious" and stable job (and work permit), you are most likely to need at least an undergrad degree.

The link leads to a Thai website for English teachers, but many of the issues discussed are relevant.

Answer 5

YES.  Most 3rd world countries require a degree in whatever it is you are offering to do for them.

Answer 6

I guess this is not compulsory. I know of at least two institutes where the only requirement for teaching is...speaking good English. Maybe they give you some training courses there.
