I started with exactly the same plan (in Africa) a few years ago, now I'm a professional English teacher. I started with those two websites above. They are work-for-lodging websites, and English teacher/tutor is probably the most common position available. Generally they are looking for longer term volunteers but my first time was only 3 weeks so it's possible. You have to pay for full registration on both of those websites ($20?). In some cases you can find the program names through those websites, then google them and contact them directly, thus avoiding the need to register.
Be wary of for-profit volunteer scams ("come teach our poor children! $500 per week"), but other than that don't be too picky. Once you have 'experience' on your resume then you will make contacts and find better jobs.
If you can't find anything through those websites, just start contacting any and all private English language schools wherever you travel. Eventually somebody will offer you something. I've done this too. The trouble is generally you'll end up in larger towns or cities.
EDIT: I have no certifications. That's only important if you want longer term, more lucrative contracts.
