EFL OR ESL? TEFL OR TESL? EFL is essentially a UK term whereas ESL is a US term. Beyond that, a distinction is made between teaching English to non-native speakers in a non-English speaking country (EFL) and teaching English to non-native speakers in an English-speaking country (ESL). This distinction does not seem to be well observed, and many British teachers use EFL as a blanket term whereas many US teachers use ESL as a blanket term. The same of course applies to TEFL and TESL.
