💡 Что это такое
TEFL = Teaching English as a foreign language relates to teaching English to people with other mother tongues, assuming that they’ve already learned more than one language (prior to learning English)
TESL = Teaching English as a second language is about teaching people, who haven’t learned English as the first language, but live in English-speaking countries and need to communicate
TESOL = Teaching English to speakers of other languages - includes principles of both TEFL and TESL. It helps native and non-native English speakers to become qualified professionals
