Teaching English as a second (TESL) orforeign language (TEFL) and teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL) are terms that refer to teaching English to students whose first language is not English. The terms TEFL,TESL,and TESOL distinguish between a class's location and student population,and have become problematic due to their lack of clarity. TEFL refers to English-language programs conducted in countries where English is not the primary language,and may be taught at a language school or by a tutor. For some jobs,the minimum TEFL requirement is a 100-hour course;the 120-hour course is recommended,however,since it may lead to higher-paid teaching positions. TEFL teachers may be native or non-native speakers of English.
