TEFL

TEFL or teaching English as a foreign language refers to teaching English to students whose first language is not English and is taught in a region where English is not the dominant language, and natural English language immersion situations are apt to be few. TEFL usually occurs in the student's own country, either within the state school system, or in private schools, either in an after-hours language school or with a one-on-one tutor. TEFL teachers may be native or non-native speakers of English.
