One Practice, Many Names
if you want to teach English as a foreign language to non-native speakers, you'll need certification in TEFL. On campus, English Departments usually offer courses and certificate programs in TEFL. Online TEFL certification is available as well.
The profession originally known as ESL (English as a Second Language) has gone through many changes in name. TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) became TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) because English might not literally be the student's second language. Then came TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). Though the names differ from one certification program to the next, TEFL techniques are well established. Get a certificate in one, and you can enter any program be it TEFL, TESL, TESOL, ESL, EFL, or ESOL.
