I am interested in pursuing a teaching career in Italy so I can be closer to my family. Can I major in Italian Studies and then get my ESL certification certificate? Do you have to major in Education to become a teacher? Do you have to get your credentials then get ESL certified? Or is a ESL certificate enough?? I am hoping that someone with personal experience can help. Thanks in advanced.

It really don't sound like a great career move - I would suggest you contact the education department at your college or at your local state college education department (if you aren't enrolled yet) and inform them of your plans. I am sure they can get you the resources to help you out in this area.
Good Luck!!!

not sure about Italy, but to teach in the USA you need a teaching degree and state certificate in ESL. I have a MA in TESOL and a state certificate. I think abroad, they are less strict. I have a friend who taught esl in Guatemala and he was just trained by a company. maybe you can find some answers on www.eslcafe.com
