What is the difference between TEFL and TESOL?
In reality there is very little difference between TEFL and TESOL. TESOL stands for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages and TEFL stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language. Jobs overseas requiring a TESOL qualification will accept a TEFL qualification and vice versa.
