In response to Others: TEFL/TESL vs TESOL - ESL discussion (Sara)

Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) Teaching English to non-native speakers of English, in a country where English is not the main language.

Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) Teaching English to non-native speakers of English in a country where English is the main language.

Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) No real different than TESL, only it is usually adult students.

Overall, there is no difference. Its just a bunch of acronyms. Most of the programs are not bad, but listening to the My certificate can beat-up your certificate, stuff between the various camps can be annoying. Also, the certificates are NOT required in many places.

Everybody sing!
Old McDonald had a farm, T-E-S-O-L. And on his farm he had a kid, T-E-S-L. With a Qu, Qu here, and a Che cosa, Che cosa there, here a Ce qui, thee a Ce qui, every where a Was, Was. Old McDonald had a farm T-E-F-L!
