What is the difference between the acronyms, “TEFL” and “TESOL”?
Essentially, there is no difference between these acronyms. They are simply alternative terms used to describe the teaching of the English Language by native or proficient English speakers to those that do not speak the language. Thus, a certificate in TEFL or in TESOL is the same thing. Employers from all over the world will accept either as a suitable qualification for a teaching position.
