What is TEFL, TESOL, ESL, TOFEL?
As it does for all professional environments, the language
and acronyms used can be a little unique and daunting, especially
as they are often used interchangeably. The list of definitions
below should clarify their meanings:
- EFL - English as a Foreign
Language.
- ELT -
English Language Teaching. Mainly used by institutions in the
UK.
- ESL - English as a Second
Language
- ESOL - English for Speakers
of other Languages. Mainly used in Australasia
- TEFL - Teaching English
as a Foreign Language - When English is being taught in a country
where it is the second language or not the "Mother Tongue."
- TESL - Teaching English
as a Second Language. This is where English is being taught to
non-native speakers of English in a country where it is the native
language (for example teaching immigrants to the UK/USA).
- TESOL - Teaching English
to Speakers of Other Languages. This term theoretically encompasses
both of the above.
