ESL, EFL, TESL, or TEFL--What's the Difference?

Tom Nguyen

2014-05-26

If you’ve been doing your research on how you can use your English speaking ability to teach abroad, there is no doubt that you have come across these abbreviations. They sound pretty similar, so the big question is, what makes them different?

ESL is oftentimes used in the U.S. as an umbrella term for teaching English to non-native speakers anywhere, be it truly someone’s second language, third, fourth, etc. The U.K. uses EFL as a blanket term for the same thing. So the term that you most often hear probably differs depending on your country. Despite their common use as such, their true definitions actually do have some differences.

English as a Second Language: The first thing to note about ESL is that it is taught to non-native English speakers in an English-speaking country. This includes countries like the U.S., where English is the parent language, as well as countries such as India or Nigeria, where English is a recognized language.

Listen to English Conversation

Brandon Jones

2014-05-24

You can know your English textbook front to back, but if you don’t practice with real-life conversations, you won’t be able to speak the language yourself. Getting immersed in English conversations is an important part of the learning process. This can be difficult if you aren’t in an area with many English-speakers, or if you don’t know many personally. No matter where you stand, hearing natural conversation is easy with these tools:

Movies/TV Shows
Start with what you’re familiar with. First watch films or TV shows in your native language so that you understand the basics, then in English with subtitles. Challenge yourself to really pay attention to how feelings and situations are expressed, how conversations flow, and pronunciation.

Podcasts/Radio Shows
Depending on your English level, podcasts designed for English learners or speakers are an easy way to get your English conversation practice in wherever you go.

Search for ESL Teaching Jobs - How to Find More

Brad Lovell

2013-10-16

It isn't just LRNGO that offers an alternative revenue source for ESL or EFL teachers who want to work for themselves tutoring part-time. With the cuts to the education budget, ESL teaching jobs can be hard to come by, but for those who are willing to get a bit more creative, there are still some out there. Schools have to economize, so teaching jobs are likely to go to those who can do double duty, such as teach sports, or music, as well as an academic subject.

While you are waiting for your ideal opening, take the teaching jobs that come to you, in order to gain experience. For example, teach sports at summer camps, be a substitute teacher in your school district, or work in a private school. There are also teaching jobs to be filled in after school tutoring programs and companies. While this work may not always be full time, it does progress you along the path to your goal of being a full time educator.
