What is the difference between EFL and ESL? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ TEFL FAQs
What is the difference between EFL and ESL?
ESL (English as a Second Language) pertains to students learning English while living in an English-speaking environment. In contrast, EFL (English as a Foreign Language) is for students learning English in a country where it isn't the primary language.
