Our program includes instruction in Methodology and Theory and comprehensively covers the essential components of an ESL program:
There are a few acronyms that exist in the field of teaching English as a second language and at times it can be an area of slight confusion for those just starting out in the industry. TESL, TESOL, and TEFL are the general terms used when referring to teaching English as a second language or as a foreign language. The basic differences between these have to do with the language environment in which non-native speakers are learning English. In a TESOL situation, the dominant language environment is English and the non-native speakers are learning the language of the majority of the population. For example, a non-English speaker coming to Canada would be studying ESL and the teacher would be classified as a TESOL teacher. A non-native English speaker who studies English in an environment where the dominant population speaks a language other than English is studying EFL or English as a foreign language. The teacher would be classified as a TEFL teacher, as in the case of a Mexican student learning English in Mexico or a Japanese student studying English in Japan. TESL—Teaching English as a second language (like in North America) TESOL—Teaching English to speakers of other languages TEFL—Teaching English as a foreign language (overseas) Note: The terms TESL and TESOL are used interchangeably.
