Our courses

TEFL or TESOL: what's the difference?

It's the question we get asked most. Both terms describe teaching English to non-native speakers, and they are often used interchangeably. Here is what each one means.

TESOL courses

Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. TESOL certification typically leads to teaching English to non-native speakers living in an English-speaking country, for example teaching immigrants in the UK, USA or Australia.

TEFL courses

Teaching English as a Foreign Language. This term is used when English is taught in a place where it is not the local language, for example teaching English to students in China.
