Peace be upon you
This is my first thread here ;I'm not good at English but I hope I'll be one day like you native speakers .:p
I know that I can't reach that degree but it's just a wish;I'm trying to improve my language because I'm gonna be a teacher of English after two years with God willings.
All I want is advice how can I reach my aim???
Sorry I don't know if this is the appropriate section to put my thread or not
Best Regards

Are you currently in a teacher education program? That is the place to start.

Take your time and try not to take too many classes at once. You can always add classes if you find it not so difficult. The main thing is to stay on track. Even if you only take one or two classes per semester, you'll be less likely to become discouraged.
Good luck.

Starting small is a good idea. Are there any available tutors that you could have help you with the language barrier?

I'm not yet a teacher ;but I'm asking about the methods which I suppose to use in my studies to improve my English vocab to be ready for teaching.This is the point for example do you advise me to read to listen what do you exactly suggest

Miss Teacher, read is a great way to gain vocabulary. Be careful what you read to make sure that it also is written well.
Talking in English is another way to greatly improve your vocabulary and work on grammar.
There are also many vocabulary programs. Try buying a calendar that has a word a day, or register for a website with a vocabulary word a day. This will help build more vocabulary words.

A great way to practice you English listening skills is to watch and/or listen to English/American dramas and soap operas. Most of the conversation is typical of everyday and the vocabulary and pronunciations used are very common.

It may also help to read some more modern books. Classics are great, but the usage of some words and also slang has changed.

I definitely agree. Modern fiction is great to read to pick up the everyday language. And many things have changed since the classics were written.
Soap operas are daytime dramas.
