TEFL stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language and refers to teaching English to students whose first language is not English. TEFL teachers may be native or non-native speakers of English.

TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) is often used to mean the same thing as TEFL, but it is also used to describe English language teaching to people living in an English-speaking country who are not native English speakers.
