The focus of Worldport ESLs certificate training is on teaching English as a Second Language. If I want to teach English as a Foreign Language, shouldn I choose an EFL program?
The terms ESL and EFL are often used interchangeably because teaching practices often apply to both. The Worldport course itself covers applications for teaching both ESL and EFL classrooms. Worldport’s focus on ESL reflects the view that English has become more a necessity than a foreign topic of casual interest and distant observation. Our certificate training helps teachers to meet current needs of learners worldwide – learners who want or need to know how to really use English to communicate.
