What is ESL - EFL - ELT - ESOL - TESL - TEFL - TESOL - CELTA - TKT ? Kris Amerikos Language Teaching

This channel is for you if you want to start your own education business or if you are currently the owner or manager of an education business. This channel is also for ESL / EFL / ELT / ESOL teachers and those who are currently studying or training to become a language teacher.

The videos you'll find on this channel address topics related to the language teaching business sphere.

I have been a certified teacher of English as a foreign language since 2009. I have been a teacher trainer, a language teaching business founder and owner, Director of Studies, and HR Director of a language teaching business since 2011. I have been a teacher recruiter and a consultant to language teaching businesses since 2012.

What is ESL - EFL - ELT - ESOL - TESL - TEFL - TESOL - CELTA - TKT ?

ESL = English as a Second Language
EFL = English as a Foreign Language
ESOL = English to Speakers of Other Languages
TESL = Teacher of English as a Second Language
TEFL = Teacher of English as a Foreign Language
TESOL = Teacher of English to Speakers of Other Languages
CELTA = Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults
TKT = Teaching Knowledge Test

Also note that some people refer to EFL as English that is learnt in a non-English-speaking country by non-native speakers of English and refer to ESL as English that is learnt in an English-speaking country by non-native speakers of English. Again, the terminology here is confusing and unimportant. While it is true that teaching English in an English-speaking country and teaching English in a non-English-speaking country is very different and that these two groups of learners have substantially different goals, the general principles that apply to being a successful teacher or running a successful language teaching business in these two different spheres overlap.
