It would be a graduate program in teaching English as a second language. Also known as TESL, this program is different from a doctorate or master's in teaching and/or teaching English because as the phrase "as a second language" implies, your students do not speak or use English in their daily lives.
The positions I was talking about our mostly private schools and universities. Another thing about teaching at the college/university level, I have since writing that post long ago met teachers without these qualifications. However they have previous experience in teaching and are working under people with real qualifications (a degree). For tenured and high paying jobs at a good university, I stand by my original statement that you are going to need both a master's or more and be published in your field. This means writing a book or a few peer reviewed articles on the subject of teaching English as a second language.
(TESL is also called TEFL by some universities since they replace "second" with "foreign.")
