The structure of the English Language Arts Education is framed in a manner so that the students get prepared to teach efficiently at the middle-level and high school. The course in the language is undertaken along with the study of communication so that an individual becomes eligible for getting a license. The complete course includes speech training, linguistics, writing assessments, English language history and concepts related to protocols of communication. The graduates having an associate’s degree are eligible for teaching at the primary or middle school level but most of the candidates opt for higher education in order to increase their job opportunities.

Teachers having basic degrees of literacy and reading are available to be obtained at all educational levels. Few of them specialize in reading work at the elementary level and the secondary level so that they can assist the school students who need additional help in order to develop their literacy skills. Adults that have left school long back, form the other set of students opting for post secondary educational programs or remedial programs to improve their employment opportunities. Many teachers focus on the children and adults who have opted for English as their second language in order to enhance their reading and writing skills. 

Specialists’ in the field of reading and literacy focus on structuring their courseware in such a manner that it can be of valuable assistance for both students as well as adults. Their primary focus is improving the reading and writing skills of the students.

The public school system provides excellent platform for reading and literacy trainers. The eligibility criteria for such jobs are a bachelor’s degree accompanied by a certification in the field of literacy and reading. The master’s level degree curriculum is specially designed so that the candidates get an opportunity to sit at a position of administrative authority. 

English teachers are required at all levels of academia starting from the elementary primary school to the highest degree levels. A major in English is a preferable degree for obtaining jobs in this field. The professors teaching at the university or college level are required to have a doctorate degree after their post graduation.  

The employment opportunities for teachers of post-secondary level are expected to surge up in the near years. Such jobs are mostly part time jobs. It is also expected that the job pool of candidates teaching at lower levels are also on a rise but that is determined by the location and the educational background of the students.
