Online TESL and TEFL Courses and Tutorials
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. (cont)
