There are other terms that are often used to mean the same thing
as TEFL, but do differ slightly. TESOL (Teaching English to
Speakers of Other Languages) and TESL (Teaching English as a
Second Language) are two such terms, but differ to TEFL in that
students may be living in an English speaking country and are
learning English as a second language. Two other terms ESL
(English as a Second Language) and EFL (English as a Foreign
Language) are often used as general terms to refer to both the
act of teaching English and the act of studying English.
TEFL usually takes place in state schools, private
language schools and on a one-to-one basis in non-English
speaking countries. TEFL can also take place in English speaking
countries. This usually occurs when students come from abroad
and enrol at language schools for short courses. This immersion
style of learning is very popular with students as it is both
educational and exciting.
