Our Online TEFL/TESOL Course will prepare you for teaching abroad in a classroom set up or teaching online from the comfort of your own home.

In practical terms, there is little or no difference between “TEFL” and “TESOL.” They are both acronyms that essentially mean the same thing: teaching the English language to non-native speakers. Likewise, in the vast majority of cases, when you encounter references to ESL teaching certificates for teaching English abroad, a “TEFL certification” and a “TESOL certification” are the same and the terms are interchangeable.

On a more technical level, TESOL is the term applied to the teaching of English to non-native speakers in native English-speaking countries. It refers to those who will earn degrees and work in the field domestically in the UK, Canada, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa and the U.S.

Teaching English as a second language (TESL) means teaching English to students whose first language is not English. TESL is typically used to refer to teaching English to non-native speakers who live in a country where English is the dominant language.
