combined courses TOEFL and TEFL training
The acronym TEFL stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language.
While this term is used for the physical act of actually teaching
English abroad, it is also commonly used to refer to the training
courses that many prospective teachers complete before heading overseas,
as well as the qualification they receive upon successfully graduating
from the course. By gaining a TEFL certificate it is possible to find
work as an English language teacher in almost any country of your choice
worldwide.
While researching the ins and outs of English language teaching you are
likely to come across a few other acronyms similar to TEFL that can
cause some confusion, such as TESOL, TESL and ELT. The truth is that
these acronyms are generally used interchangeably and different
countries, companies, and individuals have their own preference as to
which they use and how they use them. The technical definitions of these
acronyms are outlined below.
This term is predominantly used when English is being taught in a
country where it isn't the native language (for example teaching English
to Spanish people in Spain).
