TEFL or Teaching English as a Foreign Language refers to teaching English to students whose first language is not English. 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 enroll at language schools for short courses. This immersion style of learning is very popular with students as it is both educational and exciting.
