Most states have a "Framework" that explains all the skills that are required for the given grade. This gives the teacher a map for the school year. Most schools have a curriculum that must be followed.
The best way to learn a new language is to find somebody who knows the language and ask them to help you.
First you should learn some basic phrases: then you should practice these with as many people as you can. For example you could learn Hello my name is Jack, what is your name?
After you get confident using basic phrases add to them: Hello my name is Jack. What is your name? I live in Springfield where do you live?
And so on.
Speaking with as many people as you can is the key to learning a language. Sometime in the future you may want to learn some grammar this will help you construct your own sentences however many people learn a language without learning grammar
Speak local language is a big advantage. If it's teach English for kids, be active and teaching with gesture is a must I think
The same way non-native English speakers learn their language.

Yes
Teach. Get a teaching credential.
no but he was a student there
There are a couple of challenges related to teaching English. For most people, they think they can teach English because they are native English speakers, however this notion is false. There is a reason why people go to school for teaching degrees. Teaching English means understanding how the English language works (lexical categories, syntax, etc.) and being able to teach it effectively and accurately. Take for example teaching grammar. Can you explain infinitives and gerunds? How about how to identify phrasal verbs versus prepositional phrases? If you get training (CELTA for example) or even receive your MA in TESL, this will help you understand how to teach English. Another challenge to teaching English can exist in the location of where you teach. I don't mean rural versus urbal communities, but teaching English abroad requires you to understand the culture and how the native language is used in teaching English. As a teacher in South Korea, I have learned nuances in Korean which have helped me explain vocabulary and reading to Korean students. I recommend if you wish to teach English, understand your surrounding and culture. It could really help with connecting with your students.
That depends on each country and state. It also depends of the level you want to teach. Teaching English abroad as a second language requires sometimes less qualifications than teaching English language in an English speaking country.
You should easily be able to get a job teaching English. Every school has their own set of guidelines and requirements, but it wouldn't hurt to try.

You can teach anybody anything you know. But to be a teacher in a school, most school systems will require a teaching certificate. You do not need a teaching degree in order to teach in a school. You only need a teaching certification, which you can get without having any sort of degree in teaching. Teaching in colleges and universities seldom require a teaching certificate, but they usually want a 'terminal degree' in the field that is being taught, such as a Medical Degree or a PhD or a Law Degree.
Mainly teach English.
It depends on where you are planning to teach, and what kind of school it would be in. Also, it could depend on whether you are planning to teach English to speakers of English (as teachihng literature, diction, writing skills, etc.) or teaching English as a second language. Some schools in some countries might hire you just because y0ou speak English; but these are usually not high-paying teaching jobs. If you are already in the country, it might make sense, but if you would have to travel there to teach, the transportation might cost more than you would earn.
The salary available for a native English speaker teaching English in Korea will vary from place to place. A school in a larger city would be able to pay more than a school in a town.
I would use Mad Libs if I taught English (I teach Soc. Studies.) Also, If you have a LCD projector and computer there are some great Jeopardy templates for Powerpoint that you can download. --Jessica
