What is the difference between ESL and TESOL?
Submitted on: March 19, 2012

ESL stands for English as a second language and TESOL stands for teaching English to speakers of other languages. So you would only teach ESL in countries where English is the first language, like the US. In a country like Japan where English is a foreign language, TESOL would be the better choice.
